- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca culture, ca. 200 to 400 CE. A matching pair of hand-built pottery bowls of shallow forms featuring highly abstract killer whales within each basin. Each bowl presents with a round but stable base, a flared rim, and a shallow, white-painted basin. The killer whales bear red, orange, and dark brown stripes along their bodies as well as pectoral and dorsal fins, a forked tail, and a keyhole-shaped head with one enormous eye and rows of bared teeth. The whales are shown with one human-like arm that brandishes an attenuated spearhead. Size of each (both are relatively similar): 7" W x 2.1" H (17.8 cm x 5.3 cm)
Display stand shown in photos is for photography purposes only.
