拍品描述 翻译
A CERAMIC STIRRUP-SPOUT VESSEL IN THE FORM OF AN OWL, VICúS OR MOCHE CULTURENorthern Peru, Vicús or Moche civilization (c. 200 BC - 500 AD). Naturalistically modeled in the form of a perched owl, the stirrup spout issuing from the bird's back. The heart-shaped face of the bird with large, downcast eyes below two pointed tufts, the body painted with white-slip streaks along the body, white feet, streaked wings and tail feathers. The tips of the owl's wings elegantly overlapping above the tail.Provenance: With Kunst Handel Barbara Faehte, Berlin, Germany. Collection of Theodor Hahn, acquired from the above between 1978-1980, and thence by descent to his wife Gisela Hahn who bequeathed the lot to her friend Dr. Georg Thaler-Szulyovszky, Vienna, Austria.The present lot is accompanied by copies of relevant documents which are listed below:- An appendix of objects acquired from Kunst Handel Barbara Faehte, Berlin, listing the present lot as '7) Vivús [sic], 500 v. Chr.,' and stating a purchase price of DEM 3,900 or approx. EUR 5,400 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).- Correspondence between Theodor Hahn and the Staatliche Museen Preussischer Kulturbesitz, particularly with the Rathgen-Forschungslabor and Abteilung Amerikanische Arch?ologie, between the years 1978-1980, when Hahn was working closely with the Museum to authenticate the lots he acquired from Kunst Handel Barbara Faehte.- An affidavit confirming the gift of 17 Pre-Columbian pieces from the collection of Theodor and Gisela Hahn to Dr. Georg Thaler-Szulyovszky, dated February 2023, signed by Gisela Hahn and Dr. Georg Thaler-Szulyovszky. The 17 works from this gift are offered in the present auction.Theodor 'Teddy' Hahn (1933-2012) was a well-known and respected collector of Asian and South American art. After spending time in museums to study the early cultures of the world, finding particular interest in their sculptures, he began collecting. He remarked once: 'I somehow knew it would have a profound influence on my life. How right I was. And how happy I have been.'Art Loss Register: ALR Ref. S00262670. A copy accompanies the lot. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, firing irregularities, expected rubbing to pigment, some soiling, signs of weathering and erosion, and encrustations, all as generally expected from Vicús or Moche excavations.Weight: 554 g Dimensions: Height 21 cmVicús and Moche ceramists rendered the natural world with remarkable anatomical precision, capturing humans, animals, and plants with such realism that specific species—and at times even historical individuals—can be identified. In Moche religion and iconography, birds of prey such as falcons, eagles, condors, vultures, and owls were common subjects. They appear both naturalistically and in anthropomorphic form, often shown in ritual contexts that reflect their natural behavior, including battles, hunts, and acts of sacrifice. Owls, perhaps owing to their nocturnal habits, were closely associated with the funerary domain: they are depicted preparing bodies and offerings for burial, and even carrying deceased warriors into the afterlife. Numerous owl species native to the arid north coast of Peru were represented by ancient ceramists. The present vessel likely depicts a barn owl (Tyto alba), identifiable by its distinctive heart-shaped facial disk.The stirrup spout was among the most characteristic vessel forms of pre-Columbian Peru and the wider Andean region. A short spout at the top is joined to the vessel body by two tubular supports, creating a shape reminiscent of a horseback stirrup, from which its modern name derives. This construction allowed the main chamber to be modeled in a wide variety of forms, with surfaces ranging from highly polished to richly textured. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these vessels were also practical: in the arid deserts of Peru, the narrow opening helped to prevent evaporation of liquids stored inside. The distinctive neck design further made them easy to transport, as two vessels could be tied to either end of a cord and carried over the shoulder or on the back of a llama. Large numbers of such vessels have been found in elite burials on Peru's north coast.Literature comparison:Compare a Moche culture stirrup-spout vessel in the form of an owl, 24.1 cm high, dated 3rd-6th century AD, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 66.30.5. Compare a closely related Moche culture stirrup-spout vessel in the form of an owl, similarly decorated, 23 cm high, dated 4th-6th century, in the British Museum, accession number Am1909,1218.67.
