- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, Early Intermediate Period, Nazca 6 to 7 Phase, ca. 550 to 750 CE. A sizeable polychrome Nazca double-spout and bridge bottle featuring an extensive and quite mesmerizing iconographic program delineated in russet red, tawny orange, chocolate brown, cream, black, and white hues. The upper register presents a pair of amazingly complex deities, each one comprised of an Anthropological Mythical Being with an attached Jagged Staff or Zackenstab-Damon (Seler 1923) or Jagged God (Proulx 2007). Note the numerous Rayed Head types with schematized faces and protruding tongues. According to the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI), the tongue-touching gesture indicates fighting. Beneath this is a narrow register of nested stylized zoomorphic forms in red, cream, black, and orange. The attractive flattened globular vessel body is topped by a double-spouted stirrup at the top. A very special example, replete with complex iconography, elegant form, and fine artistry. Size: 6.375" in diameter x 6.25" H (16.2 cm x 15.9 cm)
For explanation of similar iconography on a double-spout-and-bridge bottle form see FAMSI Resources' Christiane Clados' "Nasca Drawings Collection" Number 237 , C-10106, M.N.A.A.H. - Lima. See Clados Number 238 for additional discussion of iconography.
Provenance: ex-private Robert Sonin collection, New York City, New York, USA, collected from 1950 to 1980
