| This spectacular, 7 ½” tall, cream-on-red, rattle-based, wide-mouthed vessel or ‘florero’ (LFG441) is decorated with a scene illustrating two Moche hunters each chasing down a spotted deer with his altatl poised and ready to launch a dart with fierce accuracy to quickly bring down the fleet prey. Though glued together with no new clay or paint, the broad inner surface presented by the flaring, open expanse of the florero’s 11 ¾” wide rim still provides an excellent platform for the pictorial telling of this ancient hunt. The outside of the bowl has five panels, each with the raised image of a running deer. The rattles in the bottom chamber of the bowl remain inside in spite of the breaks that did little to destroy the beauty and uniqueness of this superb piece. From the collection of former Southwestern Native American Arts dealer, Lorenzo Fritz, a TL (thermoluminescence) test completed on samples taken from this vessel confirms that it indeed dates back into the Moche period, c.100-800AD. With professional restoration (and we can recommend a fine one), there can be little doubt that this bowl would be considered a center-piece in either a private or a museum-based collection. Select or ask any question by referring either to the Trocadero Item Number in the upper left on this page or to our Inventory Number, LFG.441. The florero comes with a small display card, a map of Peru on which is highlighted the area where the Moche lived, the original Kotalla TL report, a biographical sketch about Lorenzo Fritz, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity. NOTE: if you would like to view a large number of our various listings, and at the same time limit your browsing, try our ‘TWELVE different items on a single page format’ by simply spelling out the word TWELVE in the search box. That will quickly bring up all of our listings that have twelve different items on a page, each individually priced! And if you want to further refine the group, add one or two additional modifiers at the same time such as ‘Indian, Precolumbian, Stone, Pot, Gold, etc.’ Any item that has been sold will be so noted on its photograph. | |||||||||||||||
