About the Item
Large Chancay Anthropomorphic Urn Vessel
Pre-Columbian, Central Coast of Peru 1000–1450 CE
An imposing and characterful Chancay culture ceramic urn, fashioned in the form of a stylized human figure. This large vessel, typical of the Late Intermediate Period on the central coast of Peru, features an ovoid body with applied facial and limb details, and is decorated with bold black painted designs over a cream slip.
The figure wears a tall, cylindrical headdress or crown, with prominent ear spools and striking painted facial features—including linear accents and wide, staring eyes. A broad horizontal band encircles the torso, perhaps symbolizing textile patterns or ritual body paint. The vessel likely served a funerary or ceremonial purpose, possibly as a container for offerings or human remains.
Culture: Chancay, Peru
Date: ca. 1000–1450 CE
Material: Hand-modelled and painted ceramic
Height: 46 cm
Condition: Very good overall; some expected wear, minor surface losses and age-related patina
This expressive vessel exemplifies the Chancay tradition's abstract and anthropomorphic ceramic style, and would make an impactful addition to any collection of Pre-Columbian art.
