- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Western Bolivia, Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku) culture, ca. 100 to 300 CE. A wonderful, hand-built pottery vessel in the form of a flute player balancing on his stomach with his legs bent at the knees so the soles of his feet face upwards. Presenting a thick body, the curious figure bends both attenuated arms at the elbows to hold a petite flute to his slightly open mouth. His fascinating visage features heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed nose, and prominent nasolabial folds, all flanked by a pair of tab-shaped ears and capped with a flared headdress that opens to his hollow interior, serving as the rim of the vessel. He wears only a small covering over his posterior and groin, as the rest of his body is adorned with geometric designs in black pigment, likely representing ceremonial scarification. Size: 7.125" L x 3.375" W x 4.875" H (18.1 cm x 8.6 cm x 12.4 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
