- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, central coast of Peru, Chancay, ca. 1000 to 1250 CE. A double-chambered bichrome black and cream whistling stirrup vessel, each chamber of a circular lentoid form upon a concave base, with an arched bridge handle joining the two, a tall conical spout emerging from one chamber and a large bird, perhaps a parrot with wonderful detailing delineated in black, perched upon the other chamber. Contributing further to the decorative program, the faces of each chamber are finely decorated with geometric and avian motifs. Simply stunning and musical too! Size: 6.75" W x 9.375" H (17.1 cm x 23.8 cm)
In the Pre-Columbian world, birds were regarded as sky animals associated with the sun, moon, and Venus - where they served as messengers between humankind and the deities. Of particular importance were the eagle, parrot, and hummingbird. The beaks of the bird depicted on this example is closest to that of a parrot. Parrots were and continue to be revered by the ancients of South America. Their brilliant plumage and ability to fly high above the treeline made them ideal incarnations of the sky deities.
