Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

Pre-Columbian, central coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A finely preserved blackware pottery jar depicting a highly stylized llama or alpaca with bent legs in relief, a thick neck, and a perky tail. The bulbous ovoid vessel has a round but stable base and a cylindrical spout emanating from the top. The head is wrapped with a rope halter around the thick snout and over the perked ears. This effigy vessel may have been a funerary offering, a practical substitute for a live or sacrificed animal since camelids were much more valuable alive as they provided wool for weaving and were dependable pack animals. Size: 4.5" W x 7.4" H (11.4 cm x 18.8 cm)

Provenance: private Stillwater, Minnesota, USA collection; ex- Artemis Gallery; ex-private Copeland collection, Boulder, Colorado, USA, acquired before 1990
