Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, north coast of Peru, Salinar culture, ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE. This is a nicely shaped terracotta jug with a seated woman holding a child on her lap forming the spout. A curved handle joins the back of the woman's head to form the stirrup shape. It is coated all over with red paint and has cream slipped details on the heads of both the mother and the child. Salinar potters were some of the earliest in Peru and were related to the Chavin and Cupinisque traditions; they invented the modeled-figure spout-and-bridge bottle style that their cultural descendants the Moche would perfect. Size: 5.4" W x 6.7" H (13.7 cm x 17 cm)
