Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast of Peru, Moche, Phase IV, ca. 450 to 700 CE. A hand-built and highly burnished pottery stirrup vessel depicting a seated figure dressed in robes and exhibiting a red-painted face.

Provenance: private Leonard collection, Virginia, USA, acquired in Peru in the 1970s
