Description
**Originally Listed At $1000**
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Chavin, Late Cupisnique, ca. 500 to 300 BCE. A burnished brownware lentoid vessel with a high arched stirrup spout. The Chavin people lived in the northern Highland Andes, and their capital, Chavin de Huantar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The artwork of Chavin represents the first widespread style in the Andes. The center of Chavin de Huantar is a massive, flat-topped pyramid, surrounded by lower platforms.
