- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chimu culture, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A fantastic pair of Chimu artifacts: a grayware jar in the form of a figure bound by a coiled snake and a blackware double-chamber, whistle vessel with an anthropomorphic head and zoomorphic relief decoration. Larger of the 2, the grayware dish boasts a voluminous body adorned with the relief of a spiraling snake body, as the flared neck of the vessel displays a human face with sizeable ears and a cylindrical cap. Next, the other vessel is comprised of 2 spherical bodies - 1 surmounted by the head and arms of a figure wearing a biconical headdress and the other with a tubular spout - connected via a stirrup handle and a tunnel. Each side of the chambers is embellished by stippled tondos of crested wave and zoomorphic decoration. Blow into the tubular spout to create a lovely, high-pitched whistle! Size of larger: 5.8" Diameter x 7.8" H (14.7 cm x 19.8 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Artemis Gallery, Louisville, Colorado, USA, August 5th, 2021, lot 141; ex-private southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid 1980s
