Bottiglia di forma felina

600–900 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 362
Nella seconda metà del I millennio d.C., i popoli Wari, che abitavano la regione di Ayacucho in Perù, dominavano le Ande centromeridionali. La cultura dei Wari influenzò in particolar modo le vallate meridionali della costa del Pacifico, da cui si ritiene provengano molti tessuti e ceramiche dai colori vivaci e di grande bellezza, in perfette condizioni. Questa affascinante bottiglia ha il collo modellato a forma di testa felina e combina il linguaggio figurativo dei Wari con elementi tradizionali dell’arte della ceramica, come i colori intensi e la superficie attentamente brunita, ampiamente utilizzati per secoli dai Nasca e nelle valli vicine.
