- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 100 to 300 CE. A handbuilt, polychrome terracotta vessel rendered in the form of a seated monkey with arms across his chest resolving in sharp claws, legs depicted in a stylized manner with bumpy knees framing a round belly, and an engaging visage comprised of almond-shaped eyes, a sharp browline, a broad nose with openwork nostrils, puckered lips, dotted ears (perhaps to represent his fur or a covering), and a woven headband or tumpline. Monkeys have always fascinated humankind, with their zany antics that seem to mirror and at times parody humans. Understanding simian creatures as mimics of human culture, most ancients of the Americas regarded the monkey as a mediary between humankind and the supernatural. A wonderful example of the Nazca's artistry. Size: 7" W x 9.125" H (17.8 cm x 23.2 cm)
Provenance: private Colgate, Wisconsin, USA collection acquired 1970s to 1990s; ex-Andy Morrow collection
