| An exceptional Moche IV Death vessel from Peru, ca. 450 - 550 AD. The head and facial features of this 10" high bottle are rendered in superb detail, with individually incised teeth showing in the open mouth, the deeply sunken eyes and the characteristic two-part layered turban molded in high relief. The body of the bottle is decorated in Fineline style, with the hands each depicted holding objects and the sleeves of his garment accented with superb decorative details. In excellent condition, with fine manganese deposits and a great low pitch tone on the whistle hidden inside the head. | ||
