Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Inca, Central Peru, ca. 1300-1500 CE. During the reign of the Incas, Peru had been the seat of outstanding pottery production for thousands of years. The Moche had developed the stirrup vessel to an artform full of expression and fascinating insight to the ancient Andean culture. The Inca followed in this tradition. This example assumes the form of a deer head. Revered for their nimble speed and quiet grace, deer were associated with stellar symbolism and played a recurring role in creation myths of many Pre-Columbian cultures. Red bronze coloring with black highlights. An endearing piece! 10"H x 7"W
