Antique, Pre-Columian Ceramic Stirrup-spout Black Vessel with the image of the crab on the side from the Chimu Culture,AD.
Height: 10 ¾ inches. Condition: good except for the chip on the edge of the spout. ?The centre of the Chimú culture (850-1450 A.D.) was the city of Chan Chan in the Moche river valley. The ruins of the city cover almost an area of 20 square km. With the help of conquests and warfare the Chimú people made up a state which, during its glory days, ruled over a coastal strip of land of 1000 km that almost reached the northern border of Peru.A mould was used in making Chimú ceramics and the vessels were often made up of smaller components. Numerous vessel forms and decorative motifs share points of contact with the Moche ceramics. The Chimú vessels have been baked in a space deficient of oxygen, which is the reason for their characteristic dark colour.?
