- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, northern Peru, Chavin culture, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A beautiful gourd-shaped stirrup vessel in varying shades of russet and burgundy red. The vessel is set on a flat bottom and features a globular body accented by four wide grooves and a petite nubbin stem that finalizes its grand presence. A wide strap handle is set atop the body with a vertical spout rising from its middle. Size: 6" W x 8.75" H (15.2 cm x 22.2 cm)
The Chavin people lived in the northern Highland Andes, and their capital, Chavin de Huantar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The artwork of Chavin represents the first widespread style in the Andes. The center of Chavin de Huantar is a massive, flat-topped pyramid, surrounded by lower platforms. Between 1200 and 500 BCE the pyramid space was used for religious ceremonies.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase
