- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, south coast of Peru, Nazca to Huari transition period, ca. 500 CE. A charming mold-formed pottery jar featuring a flat base, a rotund body, a wide neck, and a cylindrical mouth bearing a thin rim. The jar is formed and painted into a depiction of a highly stylized man, perhaps a shaman or noble figure - a conclusion deduced from the ornate markings across his visage accented by a triple-strand serpentine necklace, and clothing that gives him a dignified presence. The vessel's bulbous body is painted in a russet red ground with accents made in cream and black hues. His eyes are intensely wide, and his gaze is fierce, commanding the viewer's attention. His nose is thin and protruded, overhanging a delineated slit-form mouth. A petite strap handle is present on the verso. A beautiful example in a transitionary typology between Nazca and Huari traditions. Size: 6" W x 6.5" H (15.2 cm x 16.5 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.
