- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Peru, Huari (Wari) culture, ca. 700 to 1000 CE. A wonderful mold-formed pottery jar with a stable ovoid base, a rotund body with four protruding shoulder bulbs, a wide neck, and a cylindrical mouth with a thin rim. The obverse depicts a stylized shamanic figure with an incised 'X' in the middle of the chest as well as a pair of abstract serpents boasting incised geometric motifs on the body and a stylized feline head on either end. The shaman's head features a visage composed of almond-shaped eyes, a perky nose, thin lips, and a lightly incised mustache, with the figure's 'headdress' doubling as the spout. The highly burnished exterior surfaces are adorned with pale orange slip, and vermilion pigment further accentuates the headdress and spout rim. A fine vessel example from ancient Peru! Size: 8" W x 9.3" H (20.3 cm x 23.6 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private T. Misenhimer collection, Beverly Hills, California, USA, collected from 1970-2008
