- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Colombia to Ecuador, Narino Highlands, ca. 1250 CE. An attractive pair of hand-built pottery bowls, each presenting a wide body and an annular rim atop a petite, circular foot and adorned by fine negative-resist motifs in hues of sienna and cream beneath a lustrous burnish. The basin of the first bowl is divided into 4 equal sections: 2 filled with the silhouette of a monkey, while the other 2 boast lovely step pyramid designs beside target motifs. Alternatively, the second bowl features the image of an avian-esque, anthropomorphic figure standing upon triangular legs and claw-like feet. The fascinating figure holds a long staff or tool in the right hand, while the left hand is placed on the hip. Its rectangular body is divided diagonally by a sash and embellished with 2 stepped pyramid designs. Capped by a headdress, the minimalistic visage features ovoid eyes, a lengthy nose, and a straight mouth. Both ancient vessels display 3 decorative bands encircling their rims. Size (about the same): 4.625" W x 2.375" H (11.7 cm x 6 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Valencia, California, USA collection acquired in the 1980's
