- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase III, ca. 450 to 600 CE. A captivating Moche vessel depicting a mounted rider on a llama. The figure is depicted holding the reins in his right hand and an atlatl in the left. He bares visible, painted, teeth revealed by a missing top lip which is usually a portrayal of leishmaniasis - a New World parasitic disease spread by the bites of phlebotomine sand flies. This disease produces symptoms that leave a person’s face disfigured. This is a nicely detailed example with original paints still visible and good mineral deposits. Size: 8.75" L x 3.9" W x 6.75" H (22.2 cm x 9.9 cm x 17.1 cm)
Moche vessels were mold-made and, despite their diversity, reveal standardized shapes and decoration. Stirrup-spout vessels like this example, as well as flaring bowls, were among the few typologies that allowed artists the freedom to express figurative and more complex painted scenes.
Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired December 12, 2008; ex-Arte Xibalba, Osprey, Florida, USA; ex-Frank Tapia collection, Garden City, New Jersey, USA
