Lot 41f
Central Asia, Indus Valley, Harappan/Mohenjo-Daro civilization, ca. 2700 to 2000 BCE. This is an incredible, large terracotta burial urn painted with black line motifs of peacocks around the carinated shoulder and a wave pattern around the body. It stands on a flat base and has a rolled rim with a narrow lip. The peacocks stand in groups of two and three, all facing the same direction and shown in profile, each group separated from each other by square, cross-hatched motifs that look almost like cages for keeping birds. Further black-line painted motifs - these abstract and geometrical - ring the neck and lower body. Size: 9" W x 9.75" H (22.9 cm x 24.8 cm)The blue peacock is native to India, and was declared its national bird in 1963. It often serves as the vehicle for several Hindu deities, including Brahma and Lakshmi; the god Indra is sometimes depicted sitting on a peacock throne. From the earliest decorative art in India, we know that the peacock has been associated with the sun, linked with beauty, glory, immortality and wisdom; this iconography spread from India outward to Babylonia, Persia, and Asia Minor. Peacocks are a common motif on Harappan pottery, sometimes shown in flight and sometimes shown standing like these, painted on the shoulder.See a burial urn of similar shape and with a flying peacock motif on the shoulder from the Harappa Archaeological Research Project, in McIntosh, "The Ancient Indus Valley: New Perspectives", 2007, pg. 92. Provenance: Ex-Private East Coast, USA Collection Condition: Two areas of repair on the rim; small chip from shoulder. Otherwise intact, with light areas of encrustation, especially around the base/lower body and the interior. Pigment is well-preserved for age.

Lot 85b
Pre-Columbian, Colombia, between Magdalena & Cesar, Chimila, ca. 1000 to 1500 CE. A hand-built terracotta burial urn with an egg-shaped body characteristic of the Chimila style. The lid/head presents an abstract visage with slit eyes and mouth, applied ears and nose, and pierced marks arranged in linear patterns perhaps representing tattoos. Arms fashioned from long fillets of clay detailed with knobby elbows and five-fingered hands, as well as a five-stranded necklace of long, incised coils, adorn the body. Size: 10.5" W x 15.75"H (26.7 cm x 40 cm)In the valley of the River Magdalena, ancient rituals related to the preparation of the body of the deceased for its journey to the afterlife involved the practice of secondary burials in urns like this example. According to the curatorial department of the Museo del Oro Banco de la Republica, "There are two different stages in the secondary burial funerary custom: first of all a primary burial takes place, where the corpse is buried for a certain period of time established in the ritual, and then after this, it is exhumed for burial once more in an urn, possibly amidst a great collective ceremony. Urns have been found in well tombs with side chamber, with certain local and regional variations. The chambers contain between three and seventy urns, each holding charred bone remains, large fractured bones, and fragments of skull. Each is accompanied by pots, bowls and goblets, most of which were made exclusively for the dead person, for they show no signs of having been used. Spindle whorls, rollers and axes have also been found." Scholars argue that the custom of creating burial urns is related to the association of bones with the afterlife. According to Armand Labbe's "Colombia Before Columbus," "There is a widespread belief among many Indians of both Middle and South America that bones are a form of seed, from which new life will spring. Recall the Mexican allegory of the personification of the dual lifeforce, Quetzalcoatl, descending to the underworld to retrieve the bones of mankind to resurrect them to a new life." Labbe continues, "Within the Colombian context, the act of placing bones in cylindrical, phalliform urns, and placing these in the womb-like shaft-and-chamber tomb within the Earth Mother, seems to be an enactment of such beliefs." (Labbe, "Colombia Before Columbus: The People, Culture, and Ceramic Art of Prehispanic Colombia." (1986) Provenance: Ex-private Smith collection, Atlanta, GA Condition: Base repaired from multiple pieces. Lid intact. Expected surface wear commensurate with age.
