Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Peru, Nazca-Huari culture and Ica / Chancay cultures, ca. 500-1000 CE and ca. 1000-1500 CE respectively. Striking pair of Peruvian vessels. Starting with an ovoid bottle of the Nazca/Huari with flaring neck and two lizard effigies attached to the sides of the body reminiscent of Chancay stylistic traditions. However, the style of its rich, slip-painted surface decoration in cream and dark brown slip on russet ground shows Nasca influence. Perforations under the bellies of the lizards indicate that it was hung or carried on the user's person. Next we have a spouted, strap-handled vessel created by the Ica/Chancay decorated with registers of geometric motifs, all painted in red, black, and cream slip. 5 3/4"T x 4 3/4"W x 3 1/2"D (lizard effigy vessel) 6"T x 4 1/4"D at widest (spouted, strap-handled vessel)
