EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ritual vessel from the Chimu Culture, dating back to A. D. 1200-1450. The vessel depicts a woman carrying another vessel, known as an Aryballos, while simultaneously nursing a child. Measuring 23.9x18.4 cm, this ceramic masterpiece is adorned with vibrant pigments that bring it to life. The image captures the essence of motherhood and the nurturing bond between a woman and her child in ancient Peruvian culture. The intricate details on the pottery highlight the skill and craftsmanship of the Chimu artisans who created it. The woman's graceful posture and serene expression convey a sense of tenderness as she cradles her infant while balancing another vessel on her head. This representation symbolizes not only maternal care but also strength and resilience. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, USA, this artifact is part of their esteemed collection thanks to Kate S. Buckingham Endowment's contribution. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment frozen in clay—a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Peru and its reverence for motherhood throughout history.
