- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, north/central coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A beautiful and sizable textile panel that is tightly woven from natural cotton fibers of a light beige hue. Painted in tan pigment across the obverse is a wondrous scene that presents a central standing anthropoid with sinuous limbs, a triangular head with an amicable face, and a grandiose, double-crescent headdress with interior serrations and abstract bird head finials. The surrounding areas are filled with a plethora of simian-like creatures with tumi headdresses, cyclopean birds, and circular and linear patterns, with a large octopus surrounded by a double-ended creature near the lower left side. The upper corners boast abstract tendril-armed creatures along with elongated fish-like animals, and the lateral peripheries are adorned with registers of enclosed geometric patterns. An intriguing example of finely painted Chimu artistry! Size: 61.5" L x 27.7" W (156.2 cm x 70.4 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired at Christie's East, New York, USA in the mid-1980s
