- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Moche, Phase V, ca. 600 to 750 CE. A beautiful, hand-built pottery stirrup vessel depicting a highly stylized and attractive portrait of a male, perhaps a warrior or a dignitary. Delineated with red-brown pigment atop a cream ground, the countenance presents with broad, almond-shaped eyes replete with thick brows and fine lashes, a prominent nose adorned with a cylindrical nose tube, thin lips with one corner curved into a slight smirk, and a pair of tall, flared ears. Scrawling across each cheek is a quartet of diagonal scarification marks, and his headdress is accentuated with a pair of tumi-shaped ornaments. A wide, stirrup-shaped handle projects upwards from atop the head and coalesces with a gradually tapering spout indicative of late Moche artistry. Size: 5.2" W x 10" H (13.2 cm x 25.4 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired January 9, 2009; ex-Arte Xibalba, Osprey, Florida, USA; ex-Joseph Espinoza collection, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, imported from Brazil between 1980 and 1982
