Moche I Stirrup Vessel, Squash Form, ex-Arte Primitivo

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche I, ca. 100 to 200 CE. A stunning greyware stirrup vessel in the form of a succulent squash with a smooth undulating surface that could only have been created by an exceedingly skilled Moche ceramicist. The Moche were expert agriculturalists with sophisticated irrigation systems that nurtured their verdant valleys of squash, beans, and maize. The Moche also had an exceptional ceramic tradition, and works such as this example were used in rituals, served as status symbols for the elite, and were placed in tombs to accompany the Moche in the afterlife. Size: 6-3/4" x 6-1/4" from stirrup end to front.
