When this vessel is filled with liquid and tilted back and forth, the camelid emits a whistling sound.Description
Under the Chimú, ceramic seems to have been a less important artistic medium than for earlier north coast cultures. Accordingly, ceramics were mass-produced with molds and, rather than bearing painted scenes, often have an overall dark surface achieved by firing in a smoky atmosphere. The double-chambered vessel was made after the Inka conquered the Chimú in the 1460s.- Before 1969Dr. Maillant, Neuilly Sur Seine, France2005[Sale: Artcuriel, Paris, France]2005-2011David Bernstein Fine Art, New York, NY, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art2011-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
