Description
Originally offered at $500...
Pre-Columbian, north coast of Peru, Salinar to Moche cultures, ca. 100 to 200 CE. A fascinating pottery portrait jar with a stirrup spout rising from the top. Presenting a spherical body and a flat base, the redware vessel exhibits a stylized visage comprised of bulging, almond-shaped eyes, a large nose with wide nostrils, and an incised mouth, all flanked by a pair of rectangular ears with annular earspools. The surface of the jar is adorned in a lovely shade of pale orange with black-painted pupils and parallel, zigzag striations that stretch diagonally across the cheeks. Size: 6.625" in diameter x 8.25" H (16.8 cm x 21 cm)
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
