DescriptionAncient Pre-Columbian Chimu-Inca Drum vessel from Peru, ca. 1300 – 1500 AD. Done in blackware pottery featuring two crisply-molded panels depicting a mythological creature wearing a tumi headdress. It is a late version of the Crested Animal Moon Dragon found on vessels from the Sican and Chimu empires, portrayed against a stippled background. Highly-burnished, good mineral deposits. 7-1/4"H, repaired from a couple large pieces, but appears quite excellent condition.
ProvenanceEx-Andrea Sarmiento Collection, Miami, FL.
