Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. A standing, hollow-built, bichrome pottery cuchimilco or stargazer, characteristically female and detailed with small nipples and outstretched arms and stylized fingers. Her broad, flat face is detailed with large high relief eyes and heavy eye-brows, perforated ears perhaps intended to hold large disc-shaped earspools, and an upturned, triangular nose with incised nostrils. The head is rounded with a pair of feathers in black pigment terminating in two sets of twin suspension holes. A striking demonstration of the artistic prowess of the Chancay culture. Size: 12" W x 18.5" H (30.5 cm x 47 cm); 19.5" H (49.5 cm) on included custom stand.

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and/or of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
