Mochica Vase Peru 200 To 600 Ad - Pre-columbian Art
Beautiful vase with a hemispherical body, decorated on three delimited registers with the figure of the crab god, humanized in relief. The neck is painted with a starry decoration. This divinity wears on its shell an anthropomorphic mask with wide open eyes and hind legs symbolizing human legs. They symbolize the shamanic symbiosis between man and animal for this people. Polychrome terracotta, slight small chips on the foot of the vase, marks of time and chromia slightly erased in certain places. traces of manganese Mochica Peru 200 to 600 AD Dimensions: 23 x 21 cm Provenance: Former Bertrand de Perceval collection, Nice. * Shipping costs on estimate * Careful packaging
