A nice Moche figural bottle from Peru, c. AD 400 – 700, depicting an individual adorned with large ear spools and a complex, segmented necklace with matching bracelets. His face is expressive, the arms are molded in relief along the chamber and his mantle is indicated with crisp incising. A very pleasing example and unusually well detailed for the type. H: 5 ½ in. Good mineral deposits and calcification on the rear of the chamber. Ex Gallatin estate.
