- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Huari/Wari, ca. 600 to 700 CE. A very fine polychrome bridge-spouted terracotta vessel of an elegant form with a high, arched tawny almond-brown handle joining the two projecting spouts, the shoulder of this same ground color decorated with a pair of crawling spotted animorphic creatures, probably jaguars given the spotted coats and toothy snouts, one with a black-spotted grey body and a creamy yellow and white tail, the other complementing this color scheme with a black spotted creamy yellow body and a grey, orange, and white tail. Both are presented in a complex pose, crawling in a prone state with profiled heads turned 180 degrees back toward their upraised tails. Since the figures' "paws" appear to fit the limbs like gloves, these figures may in fact be human shamans/ritual performers wearing jaguar costumes. Stylized brown/black and white crown-like forms surround the lower ends of each spout. As is characteristic of Huara Valley ceramics, this example boasts an advanced degree of abstraction yet still references lifeforms inspired by the natural environment and intriguing ritualistic customs. Size: 6.6" W x 5.5" H (16.8 cm x 14 cm)
Provenance: Ex - Gill collection, Florida acquired from Arte Primitivo Gallery, New York, acquired prior to 1995
