- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase III, ca. 350 to 550 CE. A marvelous blackware stirrup vessel featuring a spherical body and applied, discoid base, all topped with a figure sitting cross-legged. Bending both arms at the elbows, the ancient figure holds his hands just below his chin, as though he is tying the chinstraps of his sizeable headdress, which features a headband with a zoomorphic face supporting a large circular embellishment with the face of a jaguar. His fascinating visage displays heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes, a dignified nose, and pursed lips. The stirrup spout projects from his back, forming an arched handle. Judging by his elaborate headdress and the detailed cape that covers his verso, this figure was likely of high, perhaps even divine, stature within Moche society. Size: 5.5" in diameter x 8.25" H (14 cm x 21 cm)
For an example of the headdress worn by this figure, please see accession number 1979.206.1151 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Provenance: ex Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
