Ancient Pre-Columbian Chimú Phytomorphic Vessel
This is an ancient Pre-Columbian ceramic vessel from the Chimú culture. The Chimú inhabited the region of present day Peru in the area known as the Chimor kingdom. The Chimú evolved from the remnants of the Moche culture and were conquered by the Inca in 1476 CE. The vessel is done in a phytomorphic, plant like, style with four connected fruit motifs making up the base. The neck is a stirrup and is adorned with a monkey. This vessel dates to the Late Intermediate Period of Peru (1000-1476 CE). The piece has had some restoration with the stirrup as noted in the photographs, but is otherwise in great condition. This would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s collection.

Dimensions: 7” x 6” x 6”
