- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 300 to 500 CE. A hand-built pottery vessel of attractive form called a canchero (also known as a corn popper or water dipper) presenting a broad form with a carinated spherical body bearing a large opening on one side. A conical handle projects from the top of the carination and features a highly stylized anthropomorphic head as its upper knob. The tan and beige hues of the highly burnished surfaces are the ground upon which a russet-painted portrait of Ai Apec - the principal god of the Mochica people - is shown bearing wide eyes, a fang-lined mouth, and extended claws, all beneath a radiant headdress. Russet pigment also decorates the head above the handle as well as the areas beneath the chin and verso. Size: 7.4" W x 12.3" H (18.8 cm x 31.2 cm); 11.75" H (29.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, 1995 to 2010; ex-private Hans Jurgen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from 1950 to 1960s
