- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca culture, ca. 100 to 400 CE. A lovely hand-built pottery drinking vessel with a slightly rounded base, a cylindrical body with a tapering shoulder, a bulbous head with a small spout projecting from the verso, and a wide strap handle joining spout and shoulder. The highly-burnished exterior exhibits wonderful painted details in russet, jet black, cream, and citrine hues and depicts a seated person wearing a feathered cape, a golden necklace, and a lengthy tunic. The visage is presented with bulging ovoid eyes beneath thin brows, a projecting aquiline nose, raised lips, and triangular tattoo or scarification marks across the cheeks, all beneath a simple black coiffure. This vessel would have been used for storing and drinking chicha, a type of fermented corn beer, and was perhaps placed into a grave filled with offerings. A beautiful vessel replete with bold lines, strong colors, and an instantly recognizable style! Size: 5.1" W x 8.5" H (13 cm x 21.6 cm).
Provenance: ex-private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private Orlando, Florida, USA collection, acquired from Artemis Gallery; ex-private Florida, USA collection, acquired at Anthropos Gallery, Laguna Beach, California, USA
