- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, north coast of Peru, Moche Valley, Salinar / Moche transition, ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE. An evocative bridge spout bichrome red and kaolin slipped stirrup vessel with a strap handle and a spout rising from one lobe. The other lobe is capped by a model of a house with the roof partially cut away to reveal a smiling human figure with large eyes and a magnificent nose within. Red geometric motifs cover the exterior of the house, which also has a sloping roof and a small curved doorway on one side. Similar red-line geometric motifs decorate the lower part of the lobe capped by the house, while the other lobe remains a creamy white with just two bands of red around the mouth of the spout. Size: 8.3" W x 6" H (21.1 cm x 15.2 cm)
Salinar potters were some of the earliest in Peru and were related to the Chavin and Cupisnique traditions; they invented the modeled-figure spout-and-bridge bottle style that their cultural descendants the Moche would perfect. The Moche also emulated the Salinar tradition of creating architectural models with pottery. From those that have survived the centuries, we can see what their world looked like.
