Item Details

Description

Originally offered at $700...

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 1000 to 1470 CE. A musical whistling bridge-spouted, double-chambered vessel adorned in a warm hue of pale yellow. Mold-made, the fascinating vessel features two circular chambers upon conical feet that are connected at their midsections via a cylindrical tunnel. A charming figure positioned with its hands on its hips stands atop one of the vessel's chambers, while a slender, tubular spout rises from the other chamber. The spout and figure are connected by an arched ribbon of clay, forming a nice handle. Staring out from bulging, ovoid eyes, the standing figure is extensively ornamented with a cylindrical headdress with vertical ridges that protrude outwards, a broad pectoral, a thick belt, and 2 sizable earspools. Blow into the spout to create a lovely high-pitched tune! Size: 2.5" L x 8.5" W x 9.4" H (6.4 cm x 21.6 cm x 23.9 cm)
