Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase III, ca. 350 to 550 CE. A hand-built pottery stirrup vessel (an early type of beer bottle secured to one's waist through the use of a strap) with a stable base, a broad, apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, a stirrup-shaped handle, and a gently corseted spout. Depicted in relief on each side of the vessel is the fanged god Ai Apec (also Ai Apaec or the "Wrinkle Face" deity) - with a feline headdress, a serpent emanating from his belt, and a terrifying grimace - as he firmly pulls the hair of a combatant. Ai Apec's foe wears a feline mask with large almond-shaped eyes and striped tunic and "skirt." Both hold a tumi with the foes holding a trophy head in his right hand. Ai Apec is perhaps readying his large tumi, a ceremonial knife, to take the foe's head as his personal trophy. Size: 5.75" W x 10.125" H (14.6 cm x 25.7 cm)
