DESCRIPTION
Vessel. Nazca, Peru, ca.200-700 AD.
Terracotta.
Provenance: private collection, Wilma and Max Schuhmacher.
Measurements: 19 cm. diameter.
Bowl with wide mouth and open profile belonging to the Nazca culture, one of the most refined ceramic traditions of ancient Peru. The piece stands out for its elegant formal simplicity and the quality of its geometric decoration, distinctive characteristics of this culture.
The chromatic combination reflects the technical mastery of the Nazca potters in the use of mineral pigments, applied before firing to achieve durable surfaces of great visual richness.
This type of vessel may have had a domestic or ceremonial use, being equally valued for its practical function and its symbolic dimension within the Andean cultural context.
