- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 900 to 1250 CE. A very large bi-chrome earthenware egg-shape bodied effigy vessel with a single strap handle on the back of the neck, the figure's head depicted on the front of the generally cylindrical neck, her visage comprised of bulging, wide open eyes, a protruding straight nose, cup-shaped ears, and tattoo marks on the cheeks, all detailing in chocolate brown over a white ground - all beneath the tumpline around her forehead (connected to a bag hung over her back) and delineated with fine line geometric, textile-inspired patterns. The figure holds a child in both hands which extend from applied slab-made arms, close to her chest as if about to nurse. She dons a belt presenting intricate stylized geometric motifs inspired by Andean textile designs that match those of the tumpline, all in rich chocolate brown pigment on a creamy white ground to enhance the already delightful piece. Size: 10" in diameter x 18" H (25.4 cm x 45.7 cm)
Provenance: private Quincy, Illinois, USA collection; ex-Dr. George Wald, Cambridge Massachusetts, USA, acquired in 1960s; Dr. Wald was a recipient of the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the retina.
