- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Lima region, Chancay or Huacho, ca. 800 to 1500 CE. A tall funerary figure of a standing man, with articulated reed rope arms resting to his sides. A woven cotton / camelid (alpaca or llama wool) fiber cloth is draped at his waist, as he stares forward with a pleasant expression upon his elongated head. Chancay wood carvings are best known for their simple forms and sober visages using wood found in their coastal deserts to create decorative objects such as masks and statues. Scholars believe that such figures and cloth dolls were created to represent mortals rather than supernatural deities or spirits and such figures dressed in textiles are often found in tombs, their purpose is unclear, but it is probable they represented family members or servants to accompany the deceased to the afterlife. Size: 4" L x 2" W x 22" H (10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 55.9 cm); 23" H (58.4 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-Marc Amiguet Schmitt estate, Amiguet's Ancient Art, Evansville, Indiana, USA, acquired in June 2006; ex-Arte Primitivo Gallery, New York, New York, USA (auction 36, June 6th, 2006, lot 320); ex-Jean-Eugene Lions collection, Geneva, Switzerland
