The Nazca culture is probably one of the most famous cultures of antiquity. The nazca lines are probably the best known archeological signs in America. Collectors and lovers want to have a piece of this extraordinary culture. The most famous pieces are ceramics, which immediately calls the counterfeiters and copiers because of the prices on the market. Here you get a real and authentic piece of Nazca culture with a TL test. On display is a trophy head deity, she has the mouth of the he...ad sewn and carries a predator deity on the head. The body can exist only if there are three human heads in it, legs and tail have no flesh and are blood red. The bottom of the bowl shows the duality between life and death, here in black and white. A really old bowl in the condition is really rare, no restorations and repairs can be seen. It is a real sensation to get such a true ceramics of the Nazca culture, because usually the Nazca ritual sacrificed their ceramics. Since I'm a lover and a collector myself, I have to say that such fine representations of trophy heads and mythological deities are really rarities, unfortunately there are many fakes and copies of Nazca ceramics in SOOO that sometimes get really bad for me, also a lot on ->>(I'd like to say that it's my personal impression and Ebay is not at fault, but whoever goes in, knows or will find that many pieces offered on Ebay are not worth the picture, which one can look at.) is very sad! If you are looking for the real story and its ancient artifacts, then here you have the opportunity to find a piece of this culture! I have long had this piece in my collection and felt it because it is real, because I know the taste of fakes and copies!It has long been considered what these trays were used for? They have served for rituals and sacrifices. Since very few were found in one piece, they were ritually sacrificed and smashed in processions. Therefore, today these bowls are hard to find, hardly in this condition. I love depictions and patterns: I do not care about the bowl, for me the drawings count! Heads, here trophies heads represent the sick and ritual character of the Nazca, in connection with the gods as a flying deity, one can explain quite easily. I myself have consumed the San Pedro cactus in Nazca. I understand since then why the Nazca created such pieces and patterns. You are welcome to contact me, I would like to share my experiences! Culture: Nazca Nasca Age: 1400 years old, TL tested, original Test Document 2014 inclusive!Diamater approx.: 6” in Important for collectors who do not know my offers: it gives antiques, where you don't know, it is genuine or new (looks old or is a fake...). Many looks old, but it is? The best way to find out is an independent laboratory substance test. For many collectors is one reason, why they don't make a test, the high price. (In Europe are the cost today ca. 280 Euro / 300USD per test!) Here you get an antique piece inclusive a test (Thermo-Luminescence Analysis Report). For me as seller is this best feeling, because I can give you a really accurately described piece and the guarantee, made in antique times, an antique artisan, from an old long ago bygone culture! Can anyone write a COA, a material laboratory test for determining the age is truly something special! I know the disappointing feeling when you realize that you bought a copy or a fake!
