Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 400 to 500 CE. A polychrome beaker hand-built from a rounded bottom, resolving in gracefully curved walls. The surface decoration is divided into horizontal bands from the base to the rim. The lowest band is undecorated but painted a rich red-brown. Above it is a band of abstract bird or animal eye motifs in chocolate brown against a white ground. Next, we have a band of step-fret motifs in beige, red-brown, brick red, charcoal grey, and white surrounded by bands of solid red. Finally, another band of animorphic eyes in chocolate brown on white topped with a narrow band of light tan.
