DescriptionAn excellent Chimu adaptation of an ancient Sican vessel, from Peru, ca. 1100 – 1300 A.D. In blackware pottery, this nicely-detailed bird is depicted holding an ear of maize in its beak; adornos decorating the stirrup spout are similar to what is more commonly seen of Sican dragon-type vessels. 8-1/2"H, intact/excellent condition, with strong mineral encrustation. Rare transitional example!
ProvenanceEx-private Los Angeles, CA Collection.
