- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Chavin, ca. 1200 BCE. Replete with an attractive design, a bi-chrome pottery vessel presenting a rounded body and a tall spout that gradually flares to a wide mouth. Embellishing the walls of the vessel body is an incised stylized raptor, delineated on each side in a warm red slip against a tawny orange ground with a meticulously pecked surface occupying the negative space between the two birds of prey. The vessel neck is also enveloped in rich red slip that complements the orange ground and resonates beautifully with the red-outlined raptor. Size: 5.75" in diameter x 8.5" H (14.6 cm x 21.6 cm)
The Chavin people lived in the northern Highland Andes, and their capital, Chavin de Huantar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The artwork of Chavin represents the first widespread style in the Andes. The center of Chavin de Huantar is a massive, flat-topped pyramid, surrounded by lower platforms. Between 1200 and 500 BCE the pyramid space was used for religious ceremonies.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hans Juergen Westermann collection, Germany, collected from 1950 to 1960s
