- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast of Peru, Chimu culture, ca. 850 to 1100 CE. A rare example of a mold-formed pottery vessel shaped like a pacay pod (also known as Inga feuilleei) or "ice cream bean," so called due to its sweet flavor as well as its smooth and creamy pulp texture. Highly burnished and enveloped in russet slip, the crescent-shaped body rests atop a flared foot and features 7 bean protrusions on each side that are each surrounded by the thick, banana-like skin. Clinging atop one side of the stirrup-shaped handle is a petite simian creature with huge eyes and a curled tail. Pacay fruits are an ancient legume found in tropical and subtropical climates throughout South America, especially in the Andean states, and are also known as guaba, shimbillo, and guama. Size: 8.375" L x 2.8" W x 7.875" H (21.3 cm x 7.1 cm x 20 cm)
