- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 300 to 800 CE. A mold-formed and highly burnished pottery jar of a tall, ovoid form with a flat base, a bulbous body, and a head-shaped neck. The body is covered with dozens of nubbin nodules representative of cactus needles, and the middle edges are smooth to the touch. The face presented on the vessel's neck exhibits almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and tab-shaped ears, and the slightly flared headdress resting atop the brow doubles as the vessel's spout and rim. Size: 5.3" W x 6.9" H (13.5 cm x 17.5 cm)
Provenance: private Houston, Texas, USA collection; ex-private Houston, Texas, USA, collection, acquired before 2000
