Description
**First Time At Auction**
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 1000 to 1300 CE. A fabulous pottery jar meticulously hand-painted with black-on-white linear and geometric motifs, and adorned with a pair of petite, applied bird ornaments. Boasting a considerable size, the vessel displays a voluminous, egg-shaped body with an attenuated neck and a flared spout flanked by a pair of arched handles. Tightly spaced black stripes vertically line the body of the jar, parting at the middle of each side where a bird ornament is located and ending near the bottom with a large area of black pigment followed by a white base. The neck is additionally embellished by a diagonal band of triangular designs on each side. Note the indentation on 1 side of the base from when it was formed, granting the piece a fun bit of character! Size: 9" Diameter x 12.9" H (22.9 cm x 32.8 cm)
Provenance: private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex-private Arkansas, USA collection, via descent in 2021; ex-private Florida estate, USA, acquired from the 1960s to 1970s
