Description:
Pre-Columbian, northwest coast Peru, Viru culture, ca. 100 BCE to 600 CE. A remarkable redware vessel comprised of 2 bulbous chambers that are connected via a brief tunnel at their side and a tubular loop handle at their shoulders. One of the chambers features a flat base, tapered spout, and annular, lipped rim, while the other rests on a round yet stable base and is topped with a zoomorphic head. Capped with a flared headdress, the head displays an avian- esque visage, consisting of a petite, pointed beak, bulging eyes, and incised nostrils and pupils, all flanked by a pair of sizeable ears. An annular drill hole decorates the lobe of each ear, allowing one to suspend ornaments from the head of this curious creature. Size: 7" L x 4.75" W x 6.125" H (17.8 cm x 12.1 cm x 15.6 cm)
