About the Item

Moche Transformational Anthropomorphic Stirrup Vessel North Coast Peru, ca. 100–800 CE Ceramic with red and cream slip A finely modeled Moche stirrup-spout vessel depicting an anthropomorphic figure with pronounced zoomorphic features, suggestive of feline or canid transformation.

The globular body and classic stirrup handle form exemplify one of the most recognizable ceramic types of ancient Peru. Surface wear and patina consistent with age enhance its sculptural character. Provenance: From an old private collection. Culture: Moche Civilization, Northern Peru Period: Moche100-800 AD Height: 28 cm Width: 16 cm Provenance: From the late Romy Rey Collection, UK – acquired before 1960
