Chavin Pottery Vessel w/ Musician - TL Tested

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Chavin culture, ca. 900 to 500 BCE. A unique mold-made stirrup vessel topped with a figure playing a musical instrument and painted in lovely hues of russet, black, orange, and creamy beige. Featuring a circular base and horizontal central ridge displayed halfway up the body, the vessel is adorned with a gorgeous incised zigzag design. The bulbous figure on top of the vessel lays on his rotund belly as his cylindrical legs raise behind him showcasing upside-down feet that hang over his back and ribbon-like arms that reach out before him to hold his wind instrument, perhaps a reed pipe, to his mouth. Dressed in beige bottoms with a black belt, a pair of armbands, and an annular, flat-topped hat with three raised stripes, the ancient figure gazes forward, exhibiting large, coffee-bean shaped eyes, a triangular nose painted orange, an incised mouth, and a pair of sizable ears. A tubular stirrup spout rises from his back, presenting a gently flared rim. Size: 6.125" in diameter x 11.625" H (15.6 cm x 29.5 cm)

Provenance: private Spain collection, passed from father to son, before 1980
