Moche Bichrome Stirrup Vessel - Ai Apec with Snakes

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase III to IV, ca. 350 to 700 CE. A fantastic mold-formed pottery vessel in the form of the Moche god Ai Apec depicted traditionally: surrounded by ocean waves with feline fangs as a pair of serpents peek over his head, slithering down his back. The ancient god sits with legs drawn up and hands on knees as his sizeable head gazes forward, exhibiting a fierce visage of huge, almond-shaped eyes with elongated outer edges, a protruding, curved nose, and gritted teeth displaying the afore-mentioned, sharp fangs. Dotted earspools flank his head, while his body is decorated with thick arm cuffs, a broad pectoral, and a loincloth. Beige-painted details additionally embellish the figure, all while a tubular stirrup spout rises from his back. Size: 6" W x 9" H (15.2 cm x 22.9 cm)

Ai Apec is the primary Moche deity of creation, food, water, military victory and the most feared but respected of the wrathful gods- and sometimes referred to as the headsman or decapitator god! His iconography varies, but his ferocious nature was often depicted as a combination of human, aquatic, spider, and jaguar traits. Scholars posit that during human sacrifices, when prisoners were decapitated, their heads were presented as offerings to Ai Apec.
