- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A superb mold-formed pottery vessel depicting the head of a jaguar with a flat circular base, round body, slender tubular neck, flared spout, and ribbon-like handle connecting body to neck. The fierce animal's visage looks upward, presenting with a prominent snout, upturned nose with delineated nostrils, long straight mouth featuring one row of square teeth, and two bulging circular eyes with recessed sockets under petite triangular ears. A tubular spout embellished with the head of a lord sprouts atop the cranium of the brooding beast. The noble head wears the spout as a large flared headdress and exhibits wide lidded eyes, a straight brow, a flat nose, plump smiling lips, and tab-like ears. Highly burnished and coated in a lovely shade of black, this fine vessel is an excellent example of Chimu culture! Size: 5.5" L x 4" W x 5.875" H (14 cm x 10.2 cm x 14.9 cm)
Provenance: private southwestern Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000
