• PUBLISHED CHAVIN STIRRUP VESSEL
  PUBLISHED CHAVIN STIRRUP VESSEL EAGLE & JAGUAR**First Time At Auction** Pre-Columbian, northern Peru, Chavin culture, Jequetepeque-Templadera type, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. One of the more striking examples of ancient pottery I have seen from this region! A blackware stirrup vessel - a type of canteen that could be tied to the waist for travel over distances or into the fields - in the form of an eagle's head with a transformative jaguar mouth full of teeth and fangs. Jaguars' bodies, stretched into luxurious curves, adorn the eyebrows, encircling the eyes. One eye is massive, full of concentric circles; the other is square, with a heavy eyelid that projects out of the side of the vessel over it. The back of the vessel features incised auspicious motifs that resemble a labyrinth or map of a chamber with a feathered-headdress symbol low on its right side. Pale red cinnabar pigment colors all incised lines. Size: 6.2" W x 10.75" H (15.7 cm x 27.3 cm) The feline and the eagle are, alongside the serpent, the most represented animals in the Chavin pantheon of mythological zoomorphic creatures. Chavin artists often depicted them in transformative or chimera-like states, and their chief god, Lanzon, was a similar figure. The Chavin lived in the northern Highland Andes, and their capital, Chavin de Huantar, is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the center of Chavin de Huantar is a massive, flat-topped pyramid, surrounded by lower platforms. Between 1200 and 500 BCE the pyramid space was used for religious ceremonies. The Old Temple, constructed very early in the history of the site, consists of a series of passageways built around a circular courtyard; within were carved stone monuments showing jaguars, avians, serpents, and other figures with transformative and/or anthropomorphic figures. At the very center is a towering stone stela depicting a figure with anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features - Lanzon. Researchers believe that worshippers ingested hallucinogenic drugs and then were led in the dark through the labyrinthine passageways before entering the central courtyard and coming abruptly face-to-face with the snarling features of the god.
