- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, central Peru, Chimu culture, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A broad textile panel constructed from tightly woven natural, beige-colored cotton fibers painted with hues of vermilion, marigold, chocolate, aquamarine, and cream. Illustrated on the obverse of the panel is a huge image of a war god standing with clawed feet and hands and emanating scaled snakes from his hips, clavicle, and crown. His semicircular face stares upwards with huge almond-shaped eyes above a gaping, fang-filled mouth, and a pair of abstract simian creatures clings to the sides of the downward serpents. Several cyclopean birds and spiders fill the spaces next to the deity, and the upper and lateral peripheries are lined with a two-headed serpent with large serrated scales lining its back. Mounted on a museum-quality fabric display panel. Size (textile): 58" L x 35.5" W (147.3 cm x 90.2 cm); (display panel): 58.75" L x 49" W (149.2 cm x 124.5 cm)
Provenance: private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection; ex-private Dr. Thomas collection, Hollywood, California, USA, acquired in the late 1940s, purchased in the early 2000s from him by his granddaughter
