Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Pre-Columbian, North/Central Coast of Peru, Chimu culture, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A rare blackware pottery jar with a hemispherical base depicting the bottom of a squash with its dozens of protruding nodules.

The shoulder is decorated with a raised band of abstract birds shown as serrated, zigzagging lines bearing incised triangles on each terminal. Size: 5.25" Diameter x 6.2" H (13.3 cm x 15.7 cm)

Provenance: private Carroll collection, Georgia, USA, by descent; ex-private Jim Carroll collection, Maryland, USA, acquired 1960s
