- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Nazca, ca. 100 to 300 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished portrait kero of globular form depicting a youthful man with an intriguing air of satisfaction painted across his visage. This portrait features a slender, protruding nose, offset semicircular eyes, a pair of brow lines, and a slightly pouted smile. Smiles are contagious, and one cannot help but to smile back at this example! Burgundy red freckles dot his rounded cheeks and nose in a whimsical manner. His appearance is completed by two lightly pinched ears, a simple coiffure, and decorative headdress - painted in a crosshatch pattern with a middle register displaying an abstract linear motif in hues of ochre, burgundy, and dark brown. Its interior cavity is left undecorated and is quite spacious. Examples like this would have been used for drinking fermented chicha, a type of corn beer, and probably placed into a burial to hold offerings. Size: 5" W x 5" H (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm); 6.70" H (17 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Santa Clara, California, USA collection, acquired before 2010
