Wonderful Chimu-Inca feline vessel from Peru, ca. A.D. 1400 - 1500. It is 8" high and features a feline draped over the top of the chamber. The large head is unusually well detailed and expressive for this type, with sharp teeth visible in the open mouth and the body molded in high relief. The stripes on the flared spout identify the workshop. In excellent condition. Ex Llerena collection. Value range: $500 - $700.
