Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chavin, ca. 1200 BCE. A beautiful mold-made earthenware stirrup vessel presenting a circular, rounded base and impressively thin walls that flare outwards to a convex top, capped with a tubular, stirrup spout. Enveloped in black glaze beneath a lustrous burnish, the ancient vessel is adorned with lovely incised decoration, consisting of a pair of horizontal bands flanking a zigzag motif along its body and two annular striations encircling an abstract, geometric motif on its top. A gorgeous example from Chavin culture! Size: 6.25" in diameter x 10.75" H (15.9 cm x 27.3 cm)

The Chavin people lived in the northern Highland Andes, and their capital, Chavin de Huantar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The artwork of Chavin represents the first widespread style in the Andes. The center of Chavin de Huantar is a massive, flat-topped pyramid, surrounded by lower platforms. Between 1200 and 500 BCE the pyramid space was used for religious ceremonies.

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