This magnificent vessel is a sculptural form whispered into being by an ancient legacy. This unique blackware jug is crafted in the profound tradition of Peruvian Chimú ceramics, echoing the powerful artistic forms of the pre-Columbian Andes. The piece wears a dramatic, dark matte finish and is etched with intricate sgraffito (incised) designs, depicting a stylized creature or mythological motif. The vessel's most remarkable feature is the spout, sculpted into the form of an animal head—a functional detail that transforms the pitcher into a ceremonial effigy.
Measuring 9 inches wide and 13.5 inches high, this sculptural latin American vessel serves as a captivating sculptural accent on a console or shelf, bringing the ancient, powerful artistry of the Andes into your contemporary interior.
