A FASCINATINGLY REALISTIC PRE-COLUMBIAN MOCHE EFFIGY
AN AMAZING AND CAPTIVATINGLY GROTESQUE PRE-COLUMBIAN MOCHE CERAMIC CREATION This life-sized depiction of a disease ridden hman appendage will command your full attention at the least. This remarable vessel is extraordinary and momentarily spellbinding. It is an authentic ancient Moche creation from northern Peru dating from c.a.100-860AD. It stands a full 10 1/2” inches in height and measures 8” from heel to toe with a 3 3/4” diameter at its widest. It is a deep flesh tone and highly burnished. The Moche Culture never ceases to amaze with depictions of the sublime, severe, brutal, gentle, and naturalistic themes found in their amazing ceramic inventory. You will be either enchanted or repelled by this cultural curiosity. This gripping ceramic piece should appeal to those fascinated with or involved in the health-care industry as well as the individual who has the ability to understand and appreciate good grotesque. The photos tell the story in more detail than any words so I will leave you to react as you see fit.
