- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Huari/Wari, ca. 700 to 1000 CE. An extremely rare and realistic double-spouted portrait stirrup vessel - unusual as most ancient Peruvian portrait vessels were created by the Moche and this example presents not one but two tapered spouts. Finely painted in black, cream, and orange hues, the body of the mold-made vessel depicts a human head presenting a veristic visage comprised of wide-open almond-shaped eyes that are elegantly lined with the fine lines extending to the bridge of the nose at one end and resolving in circular motifs at the opposite end, long slender brows curved at their outer ends, a teardrop-shaped motif between them and just below the central part, a protruding nose with a painted nose ring, a gently smiling mouth with slightly parted lips, a painted labret below and two teardrop shaped adornments to either side of the lips, and three painted ear ornaments on each tab ear, all crowned by a caplike coiffure with long sideburns and a headband. Size: 7.5" W x 5.875" H (19 cm x 14.9 cm)
