DESCRIPTION:
Offered for your review and consideration is this simply marvelous and incredibly beautiful
Latin American
vintage
Aribalo
storage vessel or
figurative
ceramic
pitcher. It's an indigenous, native facsimile or copied reproduction of much more archaic,
pre-Columbian
ceramic figurative art from the
once vast
Inca
empire that previously canvased much of
South America.
It was most likely realized by a
Peruvian
ceramic artist in the early to mid-20th century, somewhere between
1930-1955.
It has two perforated holes in its ears, that are now missing most likely its original looped metal earrings. No attempt has been made to reintroduce these missing component parts, since they wouldn't be original to the figure. What's present however, is an extraordinarily well-realized and exquisitely hand painted
pre-Columbian
figurative ceramic vessel, with attached handle, created from local red clay and hand painted with semi-transparent, earth tone glaze. The small pitcher or ceramic vessel has a matte exterior and interior finish. There are no fractures or flea-bites to any of its edges. It is wonderfully well-preserved. If it were a true
pre-Columbian
figurative ceramic work, it would be valued at over a thousand dollars and not merely over a hundred dollars. As in the tradition of much of
Latin American
folk art and in particular,
Latin American
ceramic art, often archaic, thousands of year old forms and figurative works would be recreated, honoring their ancestors and the rich, long tradition of indigenous ceramic art created by the people of the once vast and glorious Inca empire that ruled a vast swath of
Latin America.
Delicate and infused with undeniable cultural evidence and indigenous fingerprints. This wonderful figurative ceramic vessel has the same DNA as its predecessors, hundreds or thousands of years older. Outstanding.
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
