- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Panama, Gran Cocle culture, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. Presenting an attractive form as well as finely delineated polychrome decoration, a beautiful Cocle vessel with a rounded body rising to a tubular neck followed by a flared, flattened rim with a spout/handle joining shoulder to rim - all upon a concave foot. The body is adorned by a running spiral motif punctuated by circular orbs with linear bands above and below - all delineated in black and cream; the spout/handle is decorated with alternating red and cream hued striations outlined in black; the neck is covered in a rich russet red slip; and finally, the rim presents a band of repeated hemispheres surrounded by linear strations all in black and cream. A fabulous example! Size: 6.5" in diameter x 7.625" H (16.5 cm x 19.4 cm)
Cocle ceramics include some of the most intriguing expressions of visual culture in Pre-Hispanic Central America. Archaeological excavations in the Cocle Province of Central Panama have demonstrated that the Cocle culture emerged in approximately 500 CE and lasted until about 1000 CE. Despite the fact that they were contemporaneous with the Diquis culture to the north, their visual culture suggests that the Cocle were a distinct, independent civilization.
