Item History & Price

| Provenance: Nölke Collection Germany |
I very gladly offer you a large ritual cup from pre-Columbian times. Warriors and priests have used the cup because it was probably the blood of a victim drunk out of it. On both sides there is a face, so the victim and the other person could look into the same face. This is a warrior is very clear, because he carries big ear pegs and a helmet. The face is very realistic shaped, the facial expression works expected what happens then. The face is actually a head face ceramic with realis...tic features of a head ceramic which are very expensive and rare! A big black pottery with two wonderful faces and heads. Very nice is the expression of the faces. The face is typical of a face of Moche / Chimu and please look into a typical pre-Columbian face. It is very special to have something in his collection. Faces and heads have an expression that no other ceramic has, you know animals and material, but heads are rare and very special!The condition is age-related, there are two fire cracks, small flaking (is visible), the faces have different expressions by the fire, which is very interesting! The size and shapes are very rare, a wonderful ceramic that immediately attracts everyone's attention!Tall approx.: 8” in and big/heavy/very niceTL Test Report in Original, Culture Chimu-Inca TL 1400AD, 600 years old, perfect antique black ceramicImportant 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!Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee!Good luck bidding! I prefer PayPal outside European Union! I send only a box with insurance DHL. It possible its works 4 weeks from Germany to the states (tracking incl.), but I send directly after payment the next working day with full insurance of the buying value, it`s safety for you and me. Careful packaging of course!
