Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Bolivia, Lake Titicaca region, Tihuanaco / Tiwanaku, ca. 400 to 700 CE. A graceful, polychrome (red, black, and creamy white) pottery vessel of an aryballos form with four panels of abstract geometric motifs on the exterior walls followed by a band of black-on-white zigzags above, and finally lovely festoons decorating the upper neck just below the rim. This vessel was probably used for storing/drinking libations such as chicha (a native beer made from fermented corn). A beautiful example boasting a strong form and an attractive painted decorative program. Size: 10.625" W handlespan x 11.125" H (27 cm x 28.3 cm)
