- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Panama, Gran Cocle, ca. 600 to 1000 CE. A substantial, hand-built pottery vase with a round but stable base, a carinated midsection that slopes gently to form the smooth shoulder, a tall cylindrical neck, and a flared rim surrounding the wide mouth. The highly burnished surfaces are first decorated with cream-hued slip and then embellished further with areas of black and brick-red slip to create an attractive polychrome presentation. Two columns on the neck showcase an abstract crustacean, perhaps a crab, with barb-tipped legs, discoid eyes, and segmented whiskers protruding off the top of their heads, and the third column features a trio of abstract circular discs with sinuous legs. One narrow panel along the shoulder shows a similar discoid creature with several additional legs, and two larger panels show perhaps a more aged crab with over a dozen spindly legs and curved, red-painted pincers in front of its haunting gaze. Size: 10.3" Diameter x 15.625" H (26.2 cm x 39.7 cm)
Provenance: ex-Barakat Gallery, Beverly Hills, California, USA, acquired prior to 2000
