Moche Bichrome Owl Stirrup Vessel w/ TL, ex-Museum

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase IV, ca. 500 to 650 CE. A charming stirrup vessel, hand-built from pottery, in the form of a seated owl. Highly burnished and adorned with soft cream and coral hues, the stylized avian creature sits gently upon protruding feet and stabilizes its body with its tab-shaped tail protruding from the verso. Both striped wings are folded against the plump breast and create a broad heart along the back. The pensive visage exhibits ovoid eyes recessed within radiating orbitals, a petite aquiline beak, perky ears, and cream-hued spots like those surrounding the body. Above the head is a tubular spout, and from it arches a stirrup-shaped handle. Size: 4.4" W x 8.1" H (11.2 cm x 20.6 cm)

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.

Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
