| A fine Lambayeque (Sican) double-chambered vessel from Peru, ca. 700 - 1350 AD. It is 7" high and 7" in length. The front bottle depicts the Maize God emerging from a pile of maize. He is portrayed with a red face and is wearing a solar emblem headdress, ear ornaments and necklace. The detailing on the individual ears of maize is beautifully executed. The rear bottle is connected by a lower tube and a strap handle, which has a built-in whistle with good tone. Nice paint overall, strong deposits, minor loss to tip of spout. | ||
