Lot 0309: PERUVIAN CERAMIC STIRRUP SPOUT HEAD BOTTLE

Seller: 0D6D7 (3657)

A South American Peruvian figural hand modeled ceramic stirrup spout vessel bottle. The vessel is glazed and made in the shape of a head with hand painted detailed facial features with gilt accents. These figurines were commonly depicted in Moche art. They are believed to have been emblematic of rank or profession. The stirrup spout vessel so named for the similarity of the spout form to that of a riding saddle stirrup was a much favored bottle shape in Pre Columbian Peru. The stirrup spout was used on ceramic vessels in northern Peru for about twenty five hundred years. The human figure appeared among them in many roles and guises. Antique Pre Columbian Ceramic Vessels, Table Ware, Home Decor, and Collectibles.
