- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Larredo-Trujillo, Chavin, ca. 400 to 200 BCE. An extremely rare blackware vessel, its surface decorated with broad-line incisions that depict two abstract glyphs representing a shaman head dramatically changing into a jaguar visage - or perhaps the important Chavin deity Lanzon who possessed an anthropomorphic body with a jaguar head. The shoulders and other areas of the body are lightly crosshatched, giving the vessel's surface a nice contrast between smooth and rough. Such imagery combining wild felines and anthropomorphic forms is characteristic of the Chavin. This vessel would have been used to hold offerings for a deceased individual in their grave. Size: 5.1" Diameter x 8.375" H (13 cm x 21.3 cm)
The broad line incised design is stylistically related to a vase and bowl found by Lumbreras in the Ofrendas Galleries at Chavin. (See Lumbreras 1970: 150 and 1971: fig. 2). These types of vessels - fired at a very high temperature using metallic minerals on the surface - exist in very few collections as they differ from the Chavin vessels found in the far north of Peru.
