- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central/North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase II, ca. 200 to 400 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished pottery vessel in the form of a seated elder figure with a flat base, a bulbous body that is sloped on the front, a bulbous head, a stirrup-shaped handle, and a cylindrical spout with an incised rim of a rounded form typical of Phase II vessels. The cream-slipped vessel exhibits a seated elder figure with crossed legs covered with a lengthy tunic, sleeves adorned with red spirals, a rectangular chest emblem with triangular, stepped, and fringe-style motifs, and raised hands with white nails. The forward-peering head bears coffee-bean-shaped eyes, a gaping mouth, and spool-adorned ears, all beneath a puffy cap. Perhaps depicting a village shaman or important elder figure, this vessel is a fine example of Moche figural artistry! Size: 5.3" W x 7.1" H (13.5 cm x 18 cm)
Provenance: ex-private old California, USA collection, acquired in the 1980s to 1995
