Item Details

Description

Wood
Chimu culture, Peru, circa 1000-1400 AD
Pair of carved wood posts with figural finials depicting a priest in full regalia
Reduced forms adorned with simple geometrical incised designs
Mounted together on a modern stand
Height: 58 and 87 cm
Good condition
Two richly carved posts from an ancient civilization used for textile weaving

This pair of wood posts made by the pre-Columbian Chimu culture is carved with a finial in the form of a standing priest in full ceremonial regalia atop an hourglass form pedestal. The body of the loom post has six square holes in which to attach the loom for weaving wool. Both feature nice age and wear on the ancient redwood surface. The Chimu are known for their colorful and richly embellished textiles, mostly made from alpaca wool, which they used as burial objects and signifiers of social status.

Literature:

Sergio Purini, André Emmerich, La sculpture en bois dans l'ancien Pérou, Paris 2006

The posts are in good condition with signs of wear consistent with age and use. There are age cracks and surface abrasions. One post with material loss to the lower end and traces of adhesive. The height measures 58 and 87 cm respectively. (tfa)
