- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, southern Peru, Inca hinterlands (Chucu), ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. A rectangular pottery plaque of a slightly concave form from a larger ceramic vessel. The concave obverse face exhibits a light gray ground upon which 9 camelids (alpacas or llamas) are presented in crimson, marigold, or shimmering metallic gray hues. The area in which the camelids graze is filled with red and yellow spots which perhaps represent different types of vegetal life. Plaques like this example were placed as offerings to Pacha Mama and Pacha Papa (Mother and Father Earth) to protect the health of the livestock and the human inhabitants of the clan. Size: 7.5" W x 5.375" H (19 cm x 13.7 cm); 7.4" H (18.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Plaques like this example were placed as offerings to Pacha Mama and Pacha Papa (Mother and Father Earth) to protect the health of the livestock and the human inhabitants of the clan.
Provenance: ex-private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Hillberg collection, California, USA before 2000
