- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Nazca, ca. 100 to 300 CE. A hand-built, highly burnished, pottery drinking vessel accented by the depiction of a seemingly expecting woman, with illustrative clothing including trophy heads and abstract mythical beings. Her visage features two elliptical eyes, a pair of brow lines, a triangular protruding nose, and an open mouth. A complimenting coiffure covers her head with hair draping over the side of her face and shoulders. Her hands rest patiently over her abdomen. She is elaborately dressed in polka-dotted dress, completed in dark cream color over a russet red ground. Her cape is a great point of interest - decorated with a pair of mythical beings, each carrying trophy heads, meaning opposing warriors heads, in hand and on their backs. 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. A gorgeous piece that exemplifies many of the hallmarks of Nazca's distinctive pottery. Size: 6" W x 7" H (15.2 cm x 17.8 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Drimmer collection, Florida, USA, acquired before 1965
