Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase IV to V, ca. 500 to 850 CE. Pottery portrait vessel presenting a naturalistic visage crowned by a headdress with fineline zoomorphic decoration. The stern countenance features a prominent brow above heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose, and fleshy-closed lips, all surmounted by a cap with bands of undulating feline-headed serpents. A veil wraps around the head, adorned with serpentine pattern resembling bird heads. An outstanding Moche lord portrait vessel with a veristic countenance, adorned in a manner that is opulent and highly symbolic! Size: 7" L x 5.4" W x 11.2" H (17.8 cm x 13.7 cm x 28.4 cm)

This would have been a portrait of an important member of Moche society; it is possible - even probable - that there are portraits of him as a young man found in other vessels, as we know of several examples of Moche portrait vessels portraying the same individual at different stages of life! Vessels like this one were traded as emblems of authority around the Moche world before being buried as grave goods; others are also known from domestic contexts, and wear on examples found in graves indicates that they were used every day for cooking and drinking before being buried with the dead. Imagine a vessel like this one being used at a feast, displaying a relationship with the person depicted.
