• PRE-COLUMBIAN CHANCAY POTTERY
  PRE-COLUMBIAN CHANCAY POTTERY OLLA POTDESCRIPTION: Pre-Columbian Peruvian Chancay Pottery Olla Pot from central coast of Peru, Chancay culture. Small attractive rounded base olla with two handles in natural beige color and with four brown vertical stripes decorating the body. The Chancay were a pre-Hispanic archeological civilization that developed between the valleys of Fortaleza, Pativilca, Supe, Huaura, Chancay, Chillón, Rimac and Lurín, on the central coast of Peru. Ceramics were a very common feature of the Chancay culture. This pottery has been found mainly in the cemeteries of the Ancon and Chancay valley. The Chancay civilization produced ceramics on a large scale using moulds. However, open vessels with more than 400 different types of drawings that have yet to be decrypted, uniquely created by artisans, have been found. The technique used in creating ceramics was with a rough matt surface that was later painted with a dark colour, usually black or brown, on top of a lighter cream or white background. this dark on light characteristic is known as black on white. ORIGIN: Peru DIMENSIONS: H: 6 1/2" W: 5 1/2 CONDITION: Great condition. Paint chips. See lot description for details on item condition.

• CHANCAY BICHROME VESSEL - FEMALE
  CHANCAY BICHROME VESSEL - FEMALE FIGURE HOLDING FRUITPre-Columbian, Chancay culture, Peru, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. Wow! An impressive example of a classic Chancay form, a star gazer, holding a fruit, perhaps a cherimoya - a succulent fruit native to Peru as well as Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, and Chile. Adorned in black and cream pigments, the ancient figure sits with legs drawn up before her as her arms rest on her bulbous belly, just below her pointed breasts with incised nipples and above her elaborately decorated belt. Her eccentric visage displays huge, target-motif eyes, a pointed nose with delineated nostrils, and gently parted lips, all flanked by a pair of petite ears, while 2 breast coverings rest over her shoulders. A conical headdress towers above her, opening at the top to form the mouth of the vessel as it supports the strap of a coca bag that rests on her back just below the vessel's strap-form handle. Size: 7.2" W x 14.4" H (18.3 cm x 36.6 cm) Such large Chancay figures are usually female. The purpose of such figures is unknown; however, as they have been frequently discovered in Chancay graves, some scholars argue that they may have represented a symbolic female companion to accompany the deceased into the afterworld. This said, a few male/female pairs have been found in gravesites, hence challenging this theory of female companionship. The Chancay people were exceptional ceramic and textile artisans, and archaeologists have often found cuchimilcos in the tombs of Chancay nobility. Some scholars believe that their outstretched hands were intended to absorb negative energy. Chancay artisans created ceramics that are quite distinctive in form and decoration - finely painted and molded with specific decorative details carefully added by hand as we see in this example.

The figure holds a child in both hands which extend from applied slab-made arms, close to her chest as if about to nurse.
