- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Panama, Gran Cocle culture, ca. 800 to 1000 CE. Cocle ceramics include some of the most intriguing expressions of visual culture in Prehispanic Central America. Beyond this long-necked vessel's elegant form, this piece uses its painted design as a visual language. The vessel is decorated with a band of four highly abstract barbed forms (possibly avian or saurian)on the shoulder. To the ancient Panamanians, these exquisitely painted motifs would have conjured a known mythic or Shamanic being. The composition of this design is comprised of these fantastical life forms in combination with bands of red outlined in black and solid black against a cream hued ground. Geometric design elements such as these were imbued with powerful symbolism, usually referring to gender constructs. Interestingly, the rim is decorated with two concentric black rings, the outer one further adorned by barbed motifs. A gorgeous piece, replete with manganese blooms and root marks. Size: 7.75" in diameter x 9.875" H (19.7 cm x 25.1 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private Dallas, Texas, USA collection
