Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 400 to 600 CE. An adorable pottery vessel with a flat base, globular body, wide neck and mouth, a thin rim, and twin perforated suspension loops. The neck displays an adorable owl face with a short beak and large, circular, perforated eyes encircled in white. The highly-burnished body is colored with a pale-orange hue, and faint remnants of black vertical stripes along the neck verso suggest further embellishments were once present. A fabulous example from the ancient Moche! Size: 6" H (15.2 cm).
