Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Inca Empire, ca. 1200 to 1500 CE. A remarkable pottery vessel in the form of an alpaca or llama head with a long snout, a high nasal bridge, a round nose, an incised mouth, large, ovoid eyes, and petite ears projecting backward. Boasting a lustrous burnish, the adorable visage is beautifully coated in russet-hued glaze with hand-painted beige and black details. The flared foot of the vessel doubly serves as the neck of the animal, while a stirrup spout arches atop the head. Size: 4.3" W x 8" H (10.9 cm x 20.3 cm)
