- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 200 to 400 CE. A fabulous pottery bowl featuring a round yet stable base and impressively thin walls that spread slightly outwards to a circular rim. The ancient vessel is decorated with a painted band of trophy heads adorned in hues of ochre, blue, burnt orange, maroon, black, and white on a creamy beige ground. All in profile and facing skyward, each head displays a half-circle eye beneath a straight brow, a sharp nose, thick lips, and a lengthy ear. The heads are separated from one another via vertical, black striations, except for two which are divided by a geometric motif of five stylized fish. A ring of maroon pigment lines the rim, while the base is painted burnt sienna. In Nazca culture - and other ancient Peruvian cultures - the decapitation and ritual use of human heads was common practice; many mythical figures and kings known from Nazca pottery are shown holding trophy heads or in the presence of trophy heads. A fascinating if not macabre motif that perhaps kept count of the kero owner's victories. Size: 9.75" in diameter x 4.5" H (24.8 cm x 11.4 cm)
Provenance: ex-Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, purchased May 24, 2008; ex-Galleria Delvecchio, Missagua, Ontario, Canada
