- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 200 to 400 CE; Central Peru, Wari (Huari), ca. 500 to 1000 CE. A fine set of two pottery keros (drinking vessels) from two distinct ancient Peruvian cultures. First is a Nazca kero with a round but stable base, a lightly corseted body, a deep interior cavity, and a flared rim. A painted depiction of a figure known variously as the "underworld feline" holds a severed human head and encircles the exterior in a palette of earthy hues atop a cream ground. Second is a Huari pottery kero with a flat base, a head-shaped body with dramatically-stylized features, a tall, flared rim, and a deep interior cavity. Bulging eyes, a prominent nose, and pouty lips define the visage, and the rim exterior is decorated in an abstract geometric motif. Size of largest (Huari): 4.75" W x 6.125" H (12.1 cm x 15.6 cm).
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
