- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Colombia, Tumaco region, La Tolita/Tumaco culture, ca. 500 BCE to 500 CE. A fine gathering of 2 hand-built pottery effigy graters (known as "rollador") of attractive fish forms. The larger grater has an elongated ovoid body with a rounded base, a stylized fish-form head, and a tapering body panel inlaid with neatly-arranged rows of sharpened stone fragments. The smaller grater displays a greater level of stylization with a stylized head boasting a circular eye and puffy lips, a rotund body with several vertical rows of pinched pottery grates, and a projecting tail with several incised grooves. Both tools are embellished with red and/or orange pigment. Size of largest (inlaid stones): 10.75" L x 3.4" W (27.3 cm x 8.6 cm).
For two stylistically-similar examples, please see: Labbe, Armand J. "Colombia Before Columbus: The People, Culture, and Ceramic Art of Prehispanic Colombia." Rizollo International Publications, New York, 1986, p. 66, fig. 2.
