This amazing Shipibo-Conibo effigy vessel we estimate dates to the early 20th century.
The Shipbo-Conibo people live in the Amazon and practice shamanism. The patterns painted on their traditional pottery vessels and woven into their textiles represent the patterns/order of the universe that we cannot see.
What astonishes me most about this piece is the almost egg shell fine pottery. The pottery throughout the vessel is thin and when you pick it up you are very surprised by how lightweight it is.
This piece measures approximately 5 3/4" tall by 6 1/2" in diameter.
It presents well and the condition is good. This piece of Native Amazonian Indian pottery was not made for the purposes of tourism but for everyday use in the traditional form of tribal vessels for the Shipibo-Conibo culture. As such there are some small chips to the rim, variation in color across the cream or white glaze, some drips to the glaze from firing and the like. She is beautiful to look at.
This amazing pottery vessel shall be carefully wrapped and shipped securely.
