Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Central Peru, Inca, ca. 1470 to 1523 CE. Hand-carved from deep black stone and polished until smooth, a petite ritual vessel known as a canopa. The camelid form presents with a characteristically rotund ovoid body with a petite tail, smooth contours and a deep interior cavity bored into the back. The raised head presents an expressive countenance with a dramatic browline, perky ears, a broad snout with delineated nostrils, and an incised mouth. Canopas typically depict alpacas, llamas, or other camelids and are often buried in the animals' corrals to protect the herds as well as promote fertility and virility. The cavity on the back would have been filled with offerings like coca leaves, maize, or animal fat in order to appease the gods. Size: 3.5" W x 2.8" H (8.9 cm x 7.1 cm)
