Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay, ca. 1000 to 1300 CE. A lovely, hand-built terracotta vessel. It has a globular body with a rounded base, twin strap handles, a deep interior cavity, and a flared spout. An adorable stylized avian figure rests on the side of the jar, beak facing upwards and wings pinned back, with a pair of X-shaped designs embellishing the rim. Painted in brown-on-cream hues characteristic of Chancay artistry, this is a fabulous example from ancient Peru! Size: 6.75" H (17.1 cm).
