- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 300 to 500 CE. An intriguing handmade and stone burnished pottery canchero vessel (also known as a corn popper or water dipper) presenting in saucer form with a bulbous body with a small circular opening and a long slender handle embellished at the end with the finely sculpted head of a male. Adorned in a lustrous red hue, the water dipper features beautiful beige decorations, including a cross filled with "S" designs on its base, "X" patterns along the upper part of the body, and a border of "S" shapes around its fill hole. Staring out from wide lidded eyes, the handle's face presents with a prominent avian nose, sizable tab-shaped ears, a long straight mouth, and a round striped headdress that falls down his back, all in a lovely shade of beige. A remarkably well preserved example from Moche culture! Please note that the Lucite stand in photos is for display purposes only. Size: 12.25" L x 8.5" W x 5.5" H (31.1 cm x 21.6 cm x 14 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-private T. Misenhimer collection, Beverly Hills, California, USA, collected from 1970 to 2008
