Description
Large bowl; Paracas culture, Peru, 700-300 BC.
Polychrome terracotta.
It has restorations on fracture lines.
Attached thermoluminescence certificate.
Measurements: 9 x 23 cm.
Ceramic dish with reddish and green polychrome ornamentation. The decoration is made up of geometric elements on the outside, where circles are combined with S-shaped ornaments, arranged in a rhythmic way. On the inside, the piece shows the image of a figure that takes on animal features, albeit in a hybrid and therefore mythical way.
The Paracas culture is the ancestor of the Nazca, with which it shows a clear cultural affinity. Developed in ancient Peru in the period known as the Late Formative or Early Horizon, it developed on the Paracas peninsula, in the Ica region, between 700 and 200 BC. Its most outstanding artistic manifestation was textile production, with high-quality wool and cotton pieces, although its pottery and basketry also stand out. The Paracas pottery is recognised as the most complete in its evolution of the entire Andean Formative period. It has very varied forms, vessels of all kinds, both for use and rituals, as well as anthropomorphic sculptures. The decoration of these pieces generally followed the same pattern: the motifs were delimited by incised lines, usually angular, made when the clay was still wet. After the bisque was fired, the polychromy was applied, using resin-based colours, mainly black, red, green, yellow and orange.
