    DESCRIPTION:
    Offered for your review and consideration is this simply marvelous and incredibly beautiful
    Latin American
    vintage
    Aribalo
    storage vessel or
    figurative
    ceramic
    pitcher. It's an indigenous, native facsimile or copied reproduction of much more archaic,
    pre-Columbian
    ceramic figurative art from the
    once vast
    Inca
    empire that previously canvased much of
    South America.
    It was most likely realized by a
    Peruvian
    ceramic artist in the early to mid-20th century, somewhere between
    1930-1955.
    It has two perforated holes in its ears, that are now missing most likely its original looped metal earrings. No attempt has been made to reintroduce these missing component parts, since they wouldn't be original to the figure. What's present however, is an extraordinarily well-realized and exquisitely hand painted
    pre-Columbian
    figurative ceramic vessel, with attached handle, created from local red clay and hand painted with semi-transparent, earth tone glaze. The small pitcher or ceramic vessel has a matte exterior and interior finish. There are no fractures or flea-bites to any of its edges. It is wonderfully well-preserved. If it were a true
    pre-Columbian
    figurative ceramic work, it would be valued at over a thousand dollars and not merely over a hundred dollars. As in the tradition of much of
    Latin American
    folk art and in particular,
    Latin American
    ceramic art, often archaic, thousands of year old forms and figurative works would be recreated, honoring their ancestors and the rich, long tradition of indigenous ceramic art created by the people of the once vast and glorious Inca empire that ruled a vast swath of
    Latin America.
    Delicate and infused with undeniable cultural evidence and indigenous fingerprints. This wonderful figurative ceramic vessel has the same DNA as its predecessors, hundreds or thousands of years older. Outstanding.
    CONDITION:
    Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
