- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Panama, Gran Cocle, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. A beautiful pottery vase with a hemispherical base, a rounded shoulder, a wide cylindrical neck, and a thick rim. The vessel is covered in a pale-orange slip with rings of black and red pigment encircling the neck and lower shoulder. Abstract black-painted barbed vines course across the top of the body, and some open spaces are colored with vivid red and purple pigment, all above a horizontal red ring outlined in black. The colors on this vessel are fantastic, and the inclusion of purple coloration suggests this is of the Conte/Macaracas style. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 7.8" W x 11.4" H (19.8 cm x 29 cm).
To the ancient Panamanians, these exquisitely painted motifs would have conjured a known mythic or Shamanic being. The composition of this design is comprised of these fantastical life forms in combination with geometric bands of red and black. Geometric design elements such as these were imbued with powerful symbolism, although the cognitive intent of these has largely been forgotten or is no longer known.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private New York, USA collection
