Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 500 to 800 CE. A delightful pottery figure of a female, shown standing and wearing a tunic and lattice motif necklace as she holds both attenuated arms to her body, hands resting just below her petite raised breasts. Her huge head gazes forward, showing characteristic almond-shaped eyes. Red and orange pigments adorn her body, while her hollow interior suggests she may have once served as a rattle. Size: 5.1" W x 10.3" H (13 cm x 26.2 cm)
