LARGE Pre Columbian Chimu Blackware Stirrup Vessel - PERU - Circa 1000 to 1300 AD
Black, burnished Pre Columbian vessel from ancient Peru. The Chimu people were masters at creating this black, glossy pottery in many different shapes and forms. Body of vessel appears to depict a large sea shell, with the face of a dignitary on the spout. Two frogs on either side of spout, and circular bands around vessel. Degradation to the burnished surface with light... mineral deposits . A very solid and large example of ancient pottery. Purchased years ago at auction, this is part of my personal collection that I am selling to downsize.
