Rare Paracas Figural Pottery Vessel - Human Effigy

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Pre-Columbian, Paracas Culture, south coast Peru, ca. 100 BCE to 100 BCE. An early polychrome human effigy vessel presenting an intriguing countenance comprised of recessed almond-shaped eyes that probably held stone or shell inlays surrounded by incised and painted (red and yellow ochre) stylized geometric motifs - perhaps to represent face paint or tattoo marks, a protruding nose, slightly parted lips, and pierced ears that most likely held ornaments. Below the head is a nicely burnished egg-shaped red body sitting on a flat base; above is a short cylindrical neck. A wonderful vessel from this early Pre-Columbian culture. Size: 5.25" in diameter x 6.5" H (13.3 cm x 16.5 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection
