Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $900**

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 400 to 600 CE. A mesmerizing portrait mask in terracotta with an attractive bi-chrome finish. The visage is skillfully delineated in low to high relief with large almond-shaped eyes, a very naturalistic nose, pursed lips framed by nasolabial folds, full cheeks, a rounded chin, symmetrically placed ears, and a wide-brimmed hat or helmet. There are numerous tiny perforations along the brim which likely once held feathers or other ornaments. Two perforations above the ears were used for attachment. The mask was beautifully burnished and creamy white pigment was used to highlight the eyes, creating a nice contrast with the orangeware. This mask is likely a portrait of an important member of Moche society depicted as a young man. The Moche are known for their portrait vessels portraying the same individual at different stages of life, but terracotta masks are less common. One cannot help but wonder whom this mask was intended to represent. Size: 8.25" W x 7.375" H (21 cm x 18.7 cm); 13.25" H (33.7 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from 1950s to 1960s
