Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase V, ca. 600 to 800 CE. An attractive pottery stirrup vessel skillfully hand-painted with elaborate geometric decoration in orange on a creamy beige ground. Sitting upon a ring-form base, the vessel presents a broad, carinated shoulder, a rounded top, and a tubular stirrup that tapers to a narrow spout. While the bottom half is bare, the curved top boasts the decorative program, which is comprised tightly-packed triangular, circular, and spiral designs as well as undulating and straight striations. Additional stripes of orange slip embellish the stirrup and spout. Size: 5.6" Diameter x 8.7" H (14.2 cm x 22.1 cm)
