- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast of Peru, Nazca, ca. 200 to 400 CE; Central Coast of Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A nice set of 2 hand-built pottery vessels from ancient Peru. First is a petite Nazca vessel covered in tan, red, black, maroon, orange, and white pigments to form the stylized visage of a trophy head. The head features large, almond-shaped eyes, a slender nose that protrudes from the side walls, and full lips, all beneath a crosshatched head wrap. The larger Chimu vessel features a flat-bottomed, apple-shaped body with a central cylindrical spout and a slender strap handle on the verso. Incised on the body are 7 rectangular panels, each containing an abstract rabbit-eared figure with lengthy arms; some of the panels are inverted and look reminiscent of an abstract mouse. Size (Nazca jar): 3.2" W x 3.125" H (8.1 cm x 7.9 cm); (Chimu jar): 4.36" Diameter x 6.2" H (11.1 cm x 15.7 cm)
Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection; ex-Heritage Auctions
