- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Huari (Wari) culture, ca. 600 to 700 CE. A beautiful hand-built and highly-burnished vessel with a tapering body, a hemispherical shoulder, and a stirrup-shaped handle arching between two conical spouts. The upper body is decorated with a pair of disembodied heads in profile with frightful visages comprised of bloodshot eyes with red trails emerging from each corner, striated facial tattooing on the upper and lower eye lids, and gnashing jaws revealing rows of teeth and fangs, all presented in painted hues of chocolate brown, cream, vermilion, wheat, and grey. The headdresses of both figures boast trailing plumes of crests and stylized feathers as well as abstract zoomorphic heads in profile. Petite round abstract black and white faces float against the red ground surrounding the larger heads. A fine example boasting an advanced degree of abstraction yet still referencing lifeforms inspired by the natural environment and ritualistic customs. Size: 7.7" W x 6.4" H (19.6 cm x 16.3 cm).
Provenance: ex-private Gill collection, Orlando, Florida, USA; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private Florida, USA collection, acquired in 2015 from Arte Primitivo Gallery, New York, New York, USA; ex-private Los Angeles, California, USA collection; ex-Allan L. Long collection, New York, USA
