Moche IV Stirrup Vessel, Male w/ Leishmaniasis

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, north coast Peru, Moche culture, Phase IV, ca. 500 to 700 CE. A fascinating pottery stirrup vessel in the form of a figure who has survived leishmaniasis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites and transmitted by the bite of certain species of sand fly, causing him to lose his nose. Wearing a turban-like headdress, he gazes forth from heavy lidded eyes above an absent nose, an open mouth baring gritted teeth, and a projecting chin. He kneels before the viewer wearing a tunic and loincloth, while carrying a stirrup vessel - how meta! - and another vessel or musical instrument. Remains of black-painted figures are additionally painted on his left knee. Moche artists emphasized naturalistic portrayals of the world they witnessed around them, including a range of maladies, as seen here. Scholars believe that, to the Moche, such deformities were regarded as signs that these individuals were chosen by the deities themselves for a higher purpose. Size: 7.1" L x 5.3" W x 8.9" H (18 cm x 13.5 cm x 22.6 cm)
