Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 800 CE. A musical whistling bridge-spouted, double-chambered vessel adorned in a hue of pale yellow. Mold-made, the fascinating vessel features two circular chambers upon conical feet that are connected at their midsections via a cylindrical tunnel. A charming avian roosts atop one of the vessel’s chambers, while a slender, tubular spout rises from the other chamber. The spout and figure are connected by an arched ribbon of clay, forming a nice handle. Size: 7.5" W x 9.5" H (19 cm x 24.1 cm)

Provenance: ex Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired August 5, 2008; ex Arte Xibalba, Osprey, Florida, USA; ex Joseph Espinoza collection, Toronto, Canada
