Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $350**

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chavin-Cupisnique, ca. 1200 to 600 BCE. A charming mold-formed pottery stirrup vessel presenting a flat, circular base, a voluminous body, and sizable stirrup spout with an annular rim. Adorned in hues of beige and brown on a light orange ground, the ancient vessel features a lovely abstract zoomorph painted in profile, displaying pointed ears, a target-motif eye, a rectangular snout with large teeth, a spotted body, a sinuous tail, four long claws, and a set of wings. Size: 5.5" in diameter x 7.375" H (14 cm x 18.7 cm)

Cupisnique was a Pre-Columbian culture that thrived from circa 1500 to 500 BCE in what we know today as the northern Pacific Coast of Peru. The Cupisnique culture had a distinctive style of pottery as well as adobe architecture; however, it shared religious iconography and artistic styles with the later Chavin peoples, who resided in the same area, but arose a bit later. Scholars are still working to understand the relationship between the Chavin and Cupisnique cultures, and their names are used reciprocally at times.
