Description
Pre-Columbian to Post-Conquest, Peru, Chimu / Inca, ca. 1450 to 1550 CE. A fabulous pair of blackware vessels, each exhibiting a rare and elaborate form. First, the larger of the 2 is a whistling vessel featuring a body comprised of squash-like fruits surmounted by a tubular spout and a bridge-form handle. Alternatively, the more petite jar displays 4 faces - 2 of a human and 2 of a camelid - with only 2 pairs of eyes that are shared between the men and beasts. Size of larger (squashes): 3.4" L x 7.1" W x 8.6" H (8.6 cm x 18 cm x 21.8 cm)
