- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. An intriguing figural post that is hand-carved from chocolate-hued wood and surmounted with a standing figure. The anthropomorphic effigy is of a highly stylized form, bearing attenuated legs and lengthy arms with hands held atop the chest, and the gently sloped shoulders are accented with a beaded necklace draped atop the clavicle. The enlarged head features a triangular visage with almond-shaped eyes, prominent nasolabial folds, tab-shaped ears, and a grinning mouth, all beneath a minimalist rectangular cap. The post atop which the figure stands bears a triangular profile that gently tapers to a blunted bottom point. Woven textile wrappings are visible on one area of the obverse, suggesting that this post was a funerary marker or perhaps a burial offering left with a deceased individual. Size: 3.8" W x 26.875" H (9.7 cm x 68.3 cm); 27.375" H (69.5 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-Arte Primitivo, New York, New York, USA; ex-private Danish collection, acquired in the 1970s, collection #1731
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
