Description
A very rare matched set of three Moche portrait vessels dating to Phase IV. All are nearly identical; polychrome painted and nicely detailed with expressive features. They are definitely from the same mold, likely all created by the same artisan and probably all found together in the same location. Overall in excellent condition. Two are perfect. One has restored breaks. All have minor paint loss and deposits consistent with age. Remarkably these have remained together and I will not break up the set. With the custom metal stand included, as shown, a very impressive display! Each vessel is approx 4.5" tall x 3" across. Total display size is approx. 7" tall X 10" wide.
