- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Brazil, Lower Amazon Basin, Marajo Island, Marajoara culture, ca. 800 to 1400 CE. A hand-built pottery fragment from a large funerary urn depicting an abstract zoomorphic creature, perhaps a jaguar based on the slender nose and wide, teeth-filled mouth. The beige-slipped animal head has brown-and-red rectangular eyes, a narrow snout with red cruciform motifs along the bridge, a pair of discoid protrusions along the upper periphery that perhaps represent ears, and a broad mouth. An intriguing example of Marajoara funerary artistry! Size: 5.875" W x 6" H (14.9 cm x 15.2 cm); 9.9" H (25.1 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private Los Angeles, California, USA collection; ex-Jean-Eugene Lions collection, Geneva, Switzerland, acquired prior to 1970
