- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Peru, Inca Empire, ca. 1200 to 1532 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished pottery olla of a sizable and attractive form with a spherical body, a gentle carination along the exterior peripheries, a rounded shoulder featuring a pair of stylized feline handles, and a flared rim surrounding the wide mouth. The front of the vessel bears a low relief feline face with almond-shaped eyes, a tumi-shaped brow and nasal ridge that narrows to form the protruding nose, and a toothy mouth flanked with concentric nasolabial folds. The felines on the shoulders represent jaguars with black-spotted skin and tapered tails, and a trio of white-painted seated figures on the verso wear serrated capes and spiked headdresses while holding lengthy staves. Size: 9.8" W x 11.4" H (24.9 cm x 29 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Shenassa collection, Los Angeles, California, USA; ex-private Los Angeles, California, USA collection, formed before 2000
