Nazca Polychrome Double Human Form Stirrup Jar

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Southern Peru, ca. 125 to 250 CE. A round-bottomed pottery stirrup jar depicting two human figures, with a mesmerizing decorative/iconographic program in a polychrome color scheme with shades of red, brown, tan, black, and white. The piece features a pair of human headed spouts - their noses in relief and the facial features boldly delineated, both donning a cross-hatch patterned headband - joined by a flat bridge. These figures appear to warriors or hunters, their elaborately dressed bodies delineated on the globular body of the vessel, one wearing a striped tunic, the other wearing a tunic featuring a checkerboard pattern, both holding handfuls of numerous weapons. A special example of Nazca pottery, instantly recognizable as Nazca for its bold lines and wide range of strong colors. Size: 4.5" W x 7.875" H (11.4 cm x 20 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Private Ventura County, CA collection acquired before 1980
