- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase III to Phase IV, ca. 400 to 600 CE. A classic bi-chrome stirrup vessel decorated with a rolling two-tiered tidal wave. The vessel's playful design is delineated by a rich red slip with a comforting cream color that completes its refined presence. An intriguing silhouette to a minimalist iteration of a prevalent Moche terracotta. Moche vessels were mold-made and, despite their diversity, reveal standardized shapes and decoration. Stirrup-spout vessels like these were among the few typologies that allowed artists the freedom to express figurative and more complex painted scenes. Size: 4" Diameter x 9" H (10.2 cm x 22.9 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from 1950 to1960s
