拍品描述
Description Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chimu, ca. 1100 to 1470 CE. A fine hand-carved wooden post used on a litter. The slender rectangular body boasts seven square insertion cavities, a lightly-pointed tip on the bottom, and an hourglass-shaped platform on the top which is surmounted by a highly-stylized jaguar finial. The feline figure is shown laying with four powerful legs tucked beneath its stocky body, a thick tail curled atop the posterior, and a rectangular head boasting bulging eyes and gnashing teeth. Lovely brown patina covers this fine example from ancient Peru. Size: 1.375" W x 29.6" H (3.5 cm x 75.2 cm); 34.4" H (87.4 cm) on included custom stand. In the Chimu and earlier Chancay cultures, important personages were carried on litters when they were both alive and dead - mummies were often brought out on litters for important rituals or ceremonies. Some funerary pottery shows important personages on litters, being carried by four pallbearers.
