- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Sican / Lambayeque culture, ca. 750 to 1370 CE. A stunning sheet plaque formed from hammered high-grade (98%) silver of a rectangular form. The plaque displays a myriad of intricate details in repousse which are surrounded by vertical borders adorned with stepped motifs and horizontal borders decorated with spiral motifs. The center of the body shows a wondrous scene of dense flora and fauna such as fish, lobsters, crabs, beans, various types of fruit, and cactus leaves, all of which were edible and readily available in this region. At the time of the Incan conquest, Spanish soldiers were reported encountering similar plaques decorating the walls of the Temple of the Moon Goddess. An exceedingly rare example from ancient Peru! Custom display stand included. Size: 6.625" W x 6.6" H (16.8 cm x 16.8 cm); 9" H (22.9 cm) on included custom stand; quality of silver: 98%.
