- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Viru culture, ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE. A hand-built pottery vessel featuring a stylized anthropomorphic figure seated atop the shoulder. The highly burnished vessel is covered with soft red-orange slip and presents with a round but stable base, an apple-shaped body with a sharp carination along the shoulder, and a strap handle bridged between the figure and squat cylindrical spout. The nude figure sits with exposed genitalia while raising a rectangular object to his mouth, perhaps an ocarina or a piece of food, while peering forward with large, incised eyes. A petite tone hole behind the figure's head creates a high-pitched whistling sound when air is blown gently into the spout. Size: 5.875" W x 6.6" H (14.9 cm x 16.8 cm)
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
