- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $350**
South America, Upper/Western Amazon Basin, Ucayali River, Peru, Shipibo peoples, ca. early 20th century. A gorgeous pair of pottery ollas from the Shipibo-Conibo tribe, an indigenous people along the Ucayali River in the Amazon rainforest in Peru. The first bowl, known as a quenpo, features a circular base and impressively thin walls that dramatically flare outward then gradually upwards to form a steeply sloped, curved shoulder, and a slightly concave annular rim. The lower area of the unique pot boasts a lovely shade of sienna, while the area from the shoulder to the rim is adorned with a black maze-like pattern on a cream ground. The second taller jar displays a broad circular rim, a narrow neck, a spherical body with a sloped shoulder, and an annular base. Its stunning burnished exterior is intricately painted in beige with two horizontal registers of maze-like designs in tones of sienna and black. Both vessels sport black-bordered rims and sienna hued interiors. Size (flared rim): 5.25" W x 4.5" H (13.3 cm x 11.4 cm); (sloped rim): 6.25" W x 3.1" H (15.9 cm x 7.9 cm)
The maze-like geometric designs featured on each jar are known as "kene". These mesmerizing motifs are distinct to each vessel and are said to echo patterns found in nature, as well as represent the paths of life.
