- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Colombia, Piartal Cultural Complex, Highland Narino region, Muisca culture, ca. 750 to 1250 CE. A hand-built pottery vessel of a sizable form known as a bullet amphora, so called due to its projectile-shaped profile. The highly burnished vessel presents with an inverted piriform body and a low, conical base, a gently sloped shoulder that tapers to form the cylindrical neck, and a dramatically flared rim. The cream-hued exterior surfaces are graced with dense linear, curvilinear, zigzagging, and chevron motifs brought forth via the negative resist technique in earthen tones of black and red. The negative resist motifs extend across the body, up the neck, and even partially onto the rim and make this a truly attractive piece that will complement any discerning collection! Size: 9.2" W x 22.375" H (23.4 cm x 56.8 cm); 26.3" H (66.8 cm) on included custom stand.
