- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, southern Mexico, Oaxaca, Zapotec, Monte Alban IIIa, ca. 200 to 500 CE. A rare and fine example of a hand-built pottery vessel containing two conjoined cylindrical tubes with a mutual base. The broad composition shows each buffware vessel joined via the upper rim and lower base as well as deep interior cavities that perhaps held ink, pigment, or poison. Incised on the front of the righthand vessel is a glyph representing the deity 2 J (also known as the goddess Itzpapalotl) with a four-lobed framework and surrounded by petite circles. The front of the left-hand vessel exhibits an abstract anthropomorphic face, with a large mouth and narrow eyes, representing the deity 1 Tiger. Faint remains of red pigment are visible across scattered areas and allude to how attractive this was at one time. Size: 3.3" W x 3.875" H (8.4 cm x 9.8 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available for $50 to the buyer. Please contact us to request.
