- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Southern Peru, Paracas culture, ca. 500 to 300 BCE. An enormous olla of broad, spherical form with a tapered base and a squat rim. Hand-built from pottery with highly burnished surfaces, the exterior is incised with sweeping grooves and depicts a large sea bird with dark, outstretched wings and a protruding tail. The head also extends out from the vessel's shoulder, its large beak pinched around the midsection of an incised fish, perhaps even an orca whale depending on the relative scale of the beak. Size: 14.5" Diameter x 15" H (36.8 cm x 38.1 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis by Labor Ralf Kotalla in Germany and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A pdf copy of the report will accompany the item upon purchase.
