Moche III-IV Bichrome Effigy Stirrup Vessel - Fish Form

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche III-IV, ca. 200 CE. Something’s fishy about this piece? Seriously fishy! The Moche were avid fisherman who garnered this abundant food source from the coastal waters. However, the Moche never drew definitive boundaries between the earthly and spirit worlds. According to scholars, the Moche believed that their deities controlled and dictated the forces of nature and so they aimed to placate the fish gods with effigy vessels like this example. A stunningly naturalistic rendering of a fish effigy stirrup vessel with gills, scales, tail, fin, and toothy open mouth all finely delineated in red and cream slip. Size: 8" L x 8" H (20.3 cm x 20.3 cm)

Provenance: Ex-California Museum of Ancient Art, Santa Monica, CA.
