Description
Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Chimu culture, ca. 1300-1400 CE.

Stands on raised base.  Lovely form of this revered sky animal created by the Chimu people (900-1450 CE) of Peru who perfected distinctive blackware pottery, employing smoldering flames during the firing and then buffing the surface to produce a dull sheen.  Size:  5-3/4"H (14.5 cm) .

Provenance: Ex-Powell Collection, White City, Oregon, acquired before 1964
