📜A Fanged Face from the Dawn of Andean Civilization

From the depths of ancient Peru, this Chavín stirrup-spout bottle emerges as both art and mystery. Its surface blends red-brown tones with ochre highlights, while the sculpted face reveals powerful sacred details: sharp fangs, geometric eyes, prominent ears, and raised dotted patterns forming the hair—all symbols tied to the feline deities and shamanic powers that shaped Chavín spirituality.

The elegant stirrup handle, rising into a vertical spout, was not mere design but a ceremonial channel for offerings and prayers. Subtle lines of age, a small crack on the lower face, and marks along the handle stand as visible signs of time, adding depth and authenticity to its story.

This bottle was more than a container—it was a bridge between humans and the divine, used in sacred rituals that honored the earth, the ancestors, and the cosmic forces. Today, it remains a timeless piece for collectors, historians, and lovers of pre-Columbian art.
