Description
A lovely Pre-Columbian polychrome olla, c. AD 500 - 700. This elegant vessel is 6 in high, 5-3/4 in in diameter and is decorated with three animated monkeys molded in high relief. They are each holding an object, perhaps a tasty fruit and appear excited. The monkeys are separated by panels of geometric designs, including step-fret symbols, associated with a fertility motif. An unusually expressive example with good paint and mineral deposits.
