- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, late Chavin, ca. 600 to 400 BCE. A wonderful hand-built blackware bridge vessel presenting a two-tiered shape that incorporates zoomorphic and architectural elements into the form. The lower body rests on a flat base, with a compressed globular shape that is incised with a register of spiraling motifs. The top resembles a house known as a chosa, with a sloping panel that creates a roof. A narrow spout rises at an angle from one side with a handle that spans across to an owl finial. The owl is delightfully detailed with incised lines, applied eyes, and a pinched beak. Owls are prominent in Andean art since Peru is home to over 30 different species, and their unusual nighttime activities were the source of legends. Shamans were believed to take the form of owls, and owls carried deceased warriors to the underworld. This is a remarkable vessel with striking symbolism! Size: 5" Diameter x 6.5" H (12.7 cm x 16.5 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
