AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Nazca potters were the first to master the technique of polychrome slip painting. Slips were made of clay particles and mineral pigments. They were applied onto the surface of the vessels before the firing process. Nazca geometric decorative designs include steps, step frets, stepped pyramids, checkerboards and zigzag lines among others. This bowl or plate is decorated with step motifs.
Dimensions: 17 cm (wide) x 4,5 cm
Condition: Good condition. Missing a small part of the side of the bowl.
Provenance: Private Dutch collection. Ex Gorny & Mosch. With German export license.
Private collection W.B. Bayern bought before 2005.
Shipping:
- Tracked and insured shipping.
- Extra safe packaging. If necessary double boxed.
- Shipping within 3 workdays after auction and payment.
- Combined shipping if you buy more than 1 item in the same auction.
- For buyers outside the European Union (EU) a Dutch export license is required. This will take several weeks to arrange.
