Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Southern Peru, Huari / Wari, Middle Horizon period, ca. 650 to 1000 CE. Terracotta vessel with a strap handle and a face depicted and modeled in partial relief and painted with details including tear marks on the neck of the vessel, and a tunic painted upon the body of the vessel, all in hues of red, black and cream. The Huari/Wari potters enjoyed polychrome slip painting and their techniques can be traced to Nazca ceramic technology. Huari imagery is understudied and not much can be said about the precise identity or meaning of this figure. It is likely, however, that the figure represents a living person of high rank or perhaps an ancestor. The plump and compact body resembles that of the mummy bundles characteristic of the Middle Horizon period. The liquid that this vessel contained likely contributed to the meaning of the piece as well. Size: 5-1/2"H (14 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private Crested Butte, CO collection, acquired in 1987.
