An absolute showstopper for an interior designer or discerning collector. This professionally mounted, museum-style shadow box showcases a beautifully balanced curation of coastal Peruvian artifacts, representing the distinct artistic traditions of the Chimu and Chancay cultures.
This piece was sourced directly from a substantial, high-end estate collection that featured a plethora of premium Pre-Columbian collectibles, including elite gold ceremonial burial masks. Float-mounted against a clean, neutral linen backing within a custom minimalist light wood frame, the assembly functions as a striking graphic anchor for high-end residential or commercial spaces.
The Curated Collection Includes:
Geometrical Textile Strip: A multi-tone hand-woven textile structural band featuring geometric step motifs typical of coastal Peruvian weavers.
Chancay Style Pottery Vessel: A small, twin-handled spouted earthenware vessel featuring traditional black geometric slip painting.
Ceremonial Copper Axe: A flared copper-alloy ceremonial T-shaped axe blade featuring a beautiful, rich verdigris surface patina developed from centuries of natural aging.
Bronze Needle & Tupu Pins: Two fine bronze/copper textile pins (Tupus) or weaving needles, showcasing ancient Andean metallurgical skills.
Braided Sling with Tassel: An elaborate hand-braided natural fiber sling featuring an intricate, multi-colored woven tassel ornament at the end.
Terracotta Effigy Shard: A hand-modeled terracotta figural shard depicting an expressive effigy figure sculpted in high relief, beautifully set into a recessed green mat.
Condition & Presentation:
The collection is impeccably preserved. The organic elements, including the fibers and earthenware, show incredible stability due to the arid coastal desert environment where they were preserved. The custom light wood shadowbox frame is modern, structurally sound, and ready to hang.
Dimensions: 19.25” W x 24.125” H x 2.25” D
