- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Salinar culture, Salinar-Moche Transition period, ca. 500 BCE to 200 CE. A finely constructed pottery vessel displaying a broad portrait across the obverse. The expressive countenance presents almond-shaped eyes with white-painted pupils within puffy lids, slightly raised eyebrows decorated with incised, inward-pointing chevrons, a narrow nose with delineated nostrils and incised nasolabial folds, and a thin mouth above a petite chin. A crosshatched chinstrap across the lower part of the face spans from one finely detailed ear to the other and perhaps suggests this visage as being from that of a warrior or shaman. The rounded and elongated profile of the brow tapers gradually upwards to a pair of perforated suspension loops, and the top is surmounted by a cylindrical spout and a broad, flared rim. High burnishing marks create a smooth surface texture atop which the vibrant red-orange slip is applied. Size: 4.8" W x 7.8" H (12.2 cm x 19.8 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from the 1950s to the 1960s
