- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Inca, ca. 1400 to 1532 CE. An elegant polychrome terracotta aryballos, of a classic form named for its resemblance to similarly shaped ancient Greek ceramics, that is embellished with a beautiful net pattern painted in black and cream on a red ground. Vessels like this were used to hold beverages, especially chicha, a coveted fermented corn beer. An aryballos with such a nice form and fine painting was likely used during festive ceremonies when tribute was paid to lords, shaman, and the like. These leaders would reciprocate with feasts that included flowing chicha served from elaborately decorated vessels like this example. Such practices demonstrated the generosity and wealth of the Inca leaders. Size: 6" W x 7.25" H (15.2 cm x 18.4 cm); 7.875" H (20 cm) on included acrylic stand.
Provenance: ex-private Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA collection, acquired September 24, 2014; ex Artemis Gallery; ex private Pennsylvania collection, acquired prior to 1980
