A pre-Columbian Chavin culture vessel in the form of a seated man, quite possibly a hunter, with an animal on his back.
The Chavin art is known for its complex iconography and its mythical realism. There is constant evidence within all types of art of human-animal interactions, which was reflective of societal interconnections and how the Chavin people viewed themselves connected with “the other world”.
Provenance: from the pre-Columbian art collection of the former ambassador of Peru to Portugal.
Peru, 900 B.C. – 300 B.C.
