Rare Pre-Columbian Chimu Stirrup Vessel – Sea Plant or Fungi Motif – 12th–14th Century AD, Peru
An intriguing and rare Chimu stirrup vessel from Pre-Columbian Peru, dating to the 12th–14th century AD. This finely crafted ceramic features a marine-themed scene centered around a sculptural fungi or sea plant, possibly representing a source of food or ritual substance. The upper receptacle element may symbolize a traditional beverage or offering vessel, highlighting the Chimu culture’s close relationship with the ocean and natural resources.
Culture: Chimu Civilization, North Coast of Peru
Period: Circa 1200–1400 AD
Material: Blackware ceramic
Style: Stirrup-spout vessel with modeled sea plant or fungi motif
Dimensions: Approx. 26 x 17 cm
Condition: Excellent – fine surface condition with no significant damage
Provenance: From the late Romy Rey Collection, UK, acquired prior to 1960
Cultural Insight:
The Chimu civilization, successors to the Moche and precursors to the Inca, were renowned for their ceramic artistry, particularly stirrup-spout vessels used in ritual or funerary contexts. The naturalistic design may reflect symbolic offerings or medicinal uses of marine fungi or plants, often revered for their sacred or sustenance value.
This is a museum-quality Pre-Columbian artifact and an exceptional piece for collectors of ancient Andean ceramics, South American archaeology, or those interested in the spiritual symbolism of Pre-Hispanic art.
