Item Details
Description
Peru 200 AD - 400 AD An early Moche captive stirrup vessel dating to Phase II. It depicts a kneeling male with bound hands — a captured warrior soon to be sacrificed. As is typical in Moche art, captives are stripped of their warrior's regalia and weapons and tied with a rope around their neck and hands. Condition is generally quite good. Restored breaks, and displays well and appears choice. Burnished redware surface with nice deposits and light wear consistent with age. Overall a fine and somewhat rare example. Go to http://nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/infinityofnations/andes/238958.html to see a near identical example currently on display at the Smithsonian's "National Museum of the American Indian." Provenance: Major Auction HouseApprox. 6.25" tall
