A Pre-Columbian Recuay Pottery Whistle Vessel, Northern Highlands, Peru, Circa 200-600 AD
This finely crafted Recuay double-chambered whistle vessel features a kaolin slip that gives the surface a smooth, cream-colored finish, accentuated by bold red and black geometric and figural designs. The vessel’s feline-shaped whistle element, adorned with intricate painted details, reflects the Recuay’s fascination with powerful mythical and zoomorphic imagery. Likely used in ceremonial contexts, this piece exemplifies the Recuay’s mastery of form, function, and polychrome artistry. 5 1/4" in length x 5 1/2" in height.
