- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 1000 to 1300 CE. A large hand built pottery vessel, egg-shaped with black geometric patterns over a beige surface. The short neck is decorated with a large x-motif with small x's, and is flanked by two strap handles. Thick bands of black pigment separate the sides of the body into four equal areas marked by two different patterns; narrow vertical lines and lines with dots. On one side is a relief money-like creature scratching its head. Monkeys, birds, and llamas were popular animals that the Chancay chose to depict on their ceramics. This ovoid vessel displays the bold patterns that are a classic Chancay style that are suggestive of the woven textiles that the Chancay also produced. Size: 10.5" W x 16" H (26.7 cm x 40.6 cm)
The Pre-Columbian Chancay culture produced a rich textile and ceramic artistry. This vessel reflects the woven patterns that their fabrics often displayed. The Chancay developed several ceramic styles that are distinctive in their shape and decoration. Their pottery is painted mainly with pigments from dark brown to black color on a white surface, forming bold patterns. While Chancay did not have a potter's wheel, they did have a revolving plate that served a similar function to rotate the clay while the potter applied the coiled walls to create these ovoid vessels. Most Chancay cermaics come from burial sites where the deceased were ritualisitcally buried with vessels and pottery figurines.
