- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 2nd to 4th century CE. A vivacious hand-built polychrome bowl with an incredible painted motif depicting two anthropomorphic figures entangled in an elaborate spider-web. The spider-web is an intriguing arrangement of linear and curvilinear lines completed in black-slip, with a consistent width and in contiguous form across its exterior register. The two figures are human-like in overall appearance but have animalistic characteristics such as hooves for hands and feet – and appear to be in a lateral struggle with a dark abstract figuration, perhaps a spider. The bowls basin is deep, with thin walls that slightly flare out towards the top of the vessel. The surface is highly burnished and presents brilliantly in the light. A well-crafted and finely detailed example! Size: 5.8" Diameter x 4.25" H (14.7 cm x 10.8 cm)
