- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, from Tembladera in the Jequetepeque Valley, ca. 1200 to 500 BCE. A rare, playful iteration of a classic Chavin form: a stirrup vessel with one arm of the "stirrup" in the form of a crouched monkey. The rest of the vessel, including the other half of the stirrup and the short, flaring spout, is highly burnished and black, with a glossy finish that has attained a silvery iridescence with age. The monkey's feet and tail are incised onto the shoulder, while the rest of the body is three dimensional, its legs drawn up to its sides, its long, spindly arms raised and its hands pressed to its face. The face itself peeks forward, with a snub snout, round eyes, and cute curved ears. The animal's body is incised to give it the appearance of fur and the incised lines have been filled with pretty pale red cinnabar pigment. A lovely example that uses texture and form for dramatic contrast! Size: 5.75" W x 9" H (14.6 cm x 22.9 cm)
Published in "Chavin: Spirits, Shamans, and Hallucinogenics", Copenhagen, Denmark.
Provenance: ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from the 1950s to 1960s
