Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase I, ca. 100 BCE to 250 CE. A hand-built pottery vessel of squat, circular form with a slightly concave base, a compressed spherical body with a rounded shoulder, a stirrup-shaped handle, and a tapered cylindrical spout with a thick, everted rim. Highly burnished and presenting a cream-hued ground, the vessel features a central band of peaked mountains with gently incised striations that further emphasize their protruding form. A repeating register of fineline decoration along the shoulder and upper body depict several abstract stingrays with triangular heads and parted fins above circular eyes, all surrounded by a step-pyramid outline. Size: 6.4" Diameter x 6.625" H (16.3 cm x 16.8 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, before 2010; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, acquired in the 1950s to 1960s

Condition

Professional repair and restoration mostly along upper half of body, with resurfacing and overpainting along new material and break lines, but affected areas are nearly invisible and do not detract from the overall presentation. Minor abrasions and nicks to spout, body, and base, with touch-up painting to decorations in several areas. Nice preservation to original decorative forms. Old inventory label beneath base.
