- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, north coast Peru, late Salinar to early Moche culture, ca. 200 BCE to 250 CE. A lovely and early storage vessel that is hand-built from kaolin clay - rather than terracotta - and exhibits a lustrous and pale yellow-white color. The vessel features a slightly rounded but stable base, dramatically sloped walls with a carinated shoulder, and a rounded top upon which sits a stylized monkey figure. The simian subject rests with bent legs, holds both arms up to a collar encircling its neck, and has almond-shaped eyes flanked by a pair of cupped ears. Behind the monkey is an arching strap handle that terminates in front of a projecting spout, and a whistle situated behind the monkey's head produces a loud, high-pitched sound when air is blown into the spout. Size: 6.4" W x 6.4" H (16.3 cm x 16.3 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from the 1950s to the 1960s
