- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, northwestern Costa Rica, Guanacaste / Nicoya, Middle / Late Polychrome periods, ca. 800 to 1550 CE. A beautiful, highly-burnished tripod vessel comprised of three abstract zoomorphic feet, rounded walls, a deep interior, and a thin rim painted in black. The hollow feet contain a small rattle ball inside, with sculpted mouths and painted details imbuing each foot with characteristic mammalian features. A decorative register of red and dark-brown linear bands accentuate the exterior walls and surfaces around the feet. The interior is embellished with a pair of conch shells in red and pale-orange, each separated by another pair of rectangular panels with black, orange, and red details. The connections between the Aztec, the Mayan city-states, and the Costa Rican cultures remains unclear, but we do know that there was trade and migration of people between the three cultures, especially in northwestern Costa Rica. Size: 6.25" W x 3.5" H (15.9 cm x 8.9 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private New York, USA collection
