Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Western Venezuela, Andean Region, Timoto-Cuica culture, ca. 1000 CE. A rare example of a hand-built pottery pipe from the Timoto-Cuica culture.

The intriguing countenance bears pierced hemispherical eyes, a tab-shaped nose above parted lips, protruding tabs for the ears and frontal 'horn,' and a thick-brimmed hat that forms the rim. Size: 5.125" L x 1.875" W x 2.8" H (13 cm x 4.8 cm x 7.1 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Eugene Lions collection, Switzerland, acquired before 1970
