Item Details
Description
A rare Inca paccha from Peru, c. AD 1300 - 1500, this elaborately molded vessel depicts a ceremonial bowl overflowing with corn, representing a successful harvest, with one of the flanges forming the pouring spout of the paccha. Pacchas are vessels through which Chicha or water was passed during fertility rituals, showing the abiding Andean belief in reciprocity: humans give the earth what they hope to receive from it. Dia: 71/4 in. Truly a museum quality object in exceptional condition, with strong mineral deposits. Ex Pachenko collection.
