Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast of Peru, Moche, ca. 100 to 800 CE. A redware pottery jar of sizable piriform construction with a round but stable base, a flared rim, and sloping walls adorned with a trio of stylized lizards bearing almond-shaped eyes and sinuous tails painted with white pigment. The Moche were very skilled ceramicists who, though probably illiterate, created visual culture that interpreted their world for us to "read" as is evident by this example. Size: 8.44" W x 11" H (21.4 cm x 27.9 cm)

Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
