DESCRIPTION: Beautiful Vintage Peruvian Chancay Cuchimilco Seated Man Vessel Reproduction Figurine. Polychrome Brown, Tan, Black & Gray Slipped Pottery. Marked. A wide mouth Chancay burial figure with other worldly features including thin arms and legs with divine eyes. Nice details including a large disk earring, bib necklace and head covering. Handmade, Slipped and Painted Terracotta clay pottery. Marked as an official replica of Pre-Colombian Chancay burial art pottery. Lots of color and textural interest. This is an NOS New Old Stock item from a shop in Santa Fe, NM, that closed around 1985 and has been in storage since then. See the photos.
MARKINGS: Has an ARTE CHANCAY Peru impressed under the foot. The back has a partial and unclear stamp with a handwritten model number and artifact number in black marker. As best I can understand, the stamp, it is from a museum or government agency that has cataloged Chancay pottery and shows that this is an official or authorized replica. See the photos.
AGE: Circa 1980s.
ORIGIN: Peru.
DIMENSIONS: Approx. 9.5" Tall X 6" Wide X 6" Deep.
