Description
Erotic stirrup-handled vase in beige terracotta with an orange patina Characteristic of the pre-Columbian civilisations of the northern coast of Peru, particularly the Moche culture. The quadrangular body is crowned by a modelled scene depicting two seated figures in an intimate pose, rendered in high relief and stylised in accordance with regional iconographic conventions. The raised, tubular stirrup handle facilitates holding and pouring. The uneven surfaces, featuring mineral deposits and efflorescence, bear witness to long-term use in a funerary or ritual context. Peru. Moche Culture. Classic Period. 1st to 7th centuries AD. 20 x 20 x 10 cm. Uneven. Item held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
