EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Stirrup-spout vessel from the Early Horizon period, dating back to approximately 900-200 BC. Created by the Cupisnique culture in Peru, this ceramic masterpiece measures 25.7x19.7x14.6 cm and is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas. The vessel's intricate design features exquisite depictions of felines and cacti, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of ancient South America. The skillful craftsmanship is evident in every detail, as each element is meticulously rendered with precision and finesse. The presence of felines symbolizes power and strength in many pre-Columbian cultures, while cacti represent resilience and adaptability to harsh environments.

This Stirrup-spout vessel not only serves as a testament to human creativity but also offers us valuable insights into the cultural heritage of ancient Peru. Thanks to generous donations from Mr. and Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, the Eugene McDermott Family, Mr. and Mrs Algur H Meadows, the Meadows Foundation Incorporated, Mr. and Mrs John D Murchison; this extraordinary piece has found its home at Dallas Museum of Art where it continues to
