- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Panama, Gran Cocle, ca. 400 to 600 CE. A fine hand-built pottery enema jar resting on a concave foot with a lightly-corseted base. The globular vessel had a smooth texture, rounded shoulders, and a dramatically-tapered spout with a narrow mouth. The vessel boasts a cream-slipped ground atop which red-orange and black pigments are applied in an interesting eye-form motif separated by a pair of triangles with spiraling centers. The spout is further decorated with alternating red openwork triangles outlined in black, and the foot is colored in red. Within the vessel are the remnants of its original contents which have desiccated and broken apart within as a result of aging, and one can hear the sounds of the material rattling through the small slit along the shoulder. Size: 3.1" W x 4.625" H (7.9 cm x 11.7 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example with added purple pigmentation, please see: Labbe, Armand J. "Guardians of The Life Stream: Shamans, Art and Power in Prehispanic Central Panama." The University of Washington Press, 1995, p. 108, fig. 111.
Provenance: private Colorado, USA collection; ex-private San Francisco, California, USA collection
