Anthropomorphic ritual vase with double belly

Ecuador
Chorrera culture, 1000 - 500 B.C.

°°° Price can be reasonably negotiated °°°

Ceremonial vase also known as a double-body whistling vase. Composed of a flute-player figure on the front and a globular body adorned with a high truncated-conical neck, both joined by an arched bridge handle. The anthropomorphic figure features atrophied limbs, the subject clutching an Andean flute between his hands at chin height. The face, classic of the Chorrera culture, features half-open coffee-bean-shaped eyes framing a short, blunt nose, pierced ears and a helmet-shaped headdress covering the entire skull. The bottle-shaped body is decorated with geometric lines.

The Chorrera culture developed on the coast of Ecuador between 1500 and 300 BC, succeeding the Machalilla culture. The Chorrera culture is characterized by the production of ceramics not only in the coastal region, but also inland. Its artistic production reached a level of expression that was rarely equalled in later times, and attests to highly mastered manufacturing techniques. In addition to functional vessels, Chorrera artists also produced ceramics that reflected a great concern for their environment.
