Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Chavin culture, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A hand-built pottery stirrup vessel of a sizable form with a convex but stable base, a rotund, spherical body with a sloped shoulder, and a stirrup-shaped handle surmounted by a conical spout with an annular, incised rim. Highly burnished and decorated with hues of citrine and burnt sienna, each half of the vessel is adorned with incised concentric circles that create a large target or eye motif that is perhaps indicative of the sun. Size: 7.1" Diameter x 10" H (18 cm x 25.4 cm)

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