Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Paracas, ca. 400 BCE to 100 CE. This vessel created by the ancients of South America boasts an intriguing form. A four lobed Paracas bowl with four inward curving walls, the center of each adorned with an incised human visage, abstractly conveyed with slits for eyes, nose, and mouth. The four "corners" that curve outward could easily serve as spouts. Framing the faces on the periphery are incised bands. The color scheme retains much original saturated red pigment. Size: 3"H x 6-3/4" across at widest point.
