- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Oaxaca, Zapotec culture, Monte Alban, ca. 100 BCE to 200 CE. An impressive pottery kero displaying the face of a deity, likely Ehecatl - a form of Quetzalcoatl in which he wears a duck-bill mask. Boasting a caramel-hued glaze beneath a lustrous burnish, the intriguing vessel presents a flat, circular base and thin walls that gently slant inward to a flared rim. The divine visage protrudes from one side of the vessel, presenting heavy-lidded eyes beneath a straight brow, a risen nasal bridge, and a sizable duckbill held open to reveal a lengthy tongue, all capped with a striped hat or coiffure and flanked by target-motif earspools. Two petite loop handles for suspension are featured on opposite sides of the vessel. Size: 2.875" in diameter x 5.375" H (7.3 cm x 13.7 cm)
Provenance: private Burlington, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-A to Z Auctions, Burlington, North Carolina, USA; ex-James Pratley estate, Galveston, Texas, USA, acquired before 2000
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.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to recent increases of shipments being seized by Australian customs (even for items with pre-UNESCO provenance), we will no longer ship most Antiquities and ancient Chinese art to Australia.

#163540Collection label on base. Repaired from at least seven pieces with restoration over break lines. Chip to rim. Abraded area below duck bill, which makes it hard to discern if there is loss to chin. Light nicks and scratches throughout, commensurate with age. Otherwise, very nice with light earthen deposits on interior.Condition
