- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Sican Lambayeque, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. A wonderful double chambered pottery vessel presenting the mythical emperor Naylamp as front lobe of the vessel and a spiny spondylus shell as rear section - both joined via a strap handle at the upper end and a tubular passage below. Naylamp is presented upon one knee and holds a large club or standard across his body. He wears a jaguar headdress and a tunic adorned with extensive decorative motifs. All is finished in a lovely palette of cream, orange, and black. Size: 7.75" L x 5.25" W x 7.75" H (19.7 cm x 13.3 cm x 19.7 cm)
Naylamp (also Naymlap, Nanlap, or Nylamp), the traditional founder of the Lambayeque dynasty is believed to have come from the south by sea and colonized the region before he allegedly sprouted wings and flew off into the sunset in a dramatic display of his magical powers. Spondylus shells, also known as spiny or thorny oysters for obvious reasons, have been revered by Andean peoples since the Pre-Columbian era. In addition to being featured in their artwork and used as currency, Spondylus pieces served as sacred offerings to Pachamama, the earth/time mother, a version of Mother Nature.
