- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche III to V, ca. 350 to 850 CE. A marvelous rattling florero (also sonajero) - a dramatically flared sacrificial bowl of conical form with a rattle-filled base, and an impressive iconographic program. Adorned in hues of beige and russet, the ancient vessel displays a lovely band of zoomorphic creatures - each featuring a rectangular body with a central ovoid motif, 4 to 10 legs, a triangular head, and a pointed tail - along the interior or its rim, as well as a finely painted dotted program encircling its base. Size: 10.5" in diameter x 6.25" H (26.7 cm x 15.9 cm)
Flared bowls like this, usually called a floreros, often included rattles. The pedestal base is hollow, has a few small openings, and is filled with ceramic pellets to create a sonorous rattling sound (hence the other term sonajero) when the vessel is shook.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
