{"product_id":"pp2307","title":"A Moche Blind Figure Effigy Vessel, Moche III - V, ca. 500 - 800 CE","description":"\u003cp\u003eA finely molded pottery vessel with a stirrup spout, depicting a seated blind man leaning against a large rolled blanket. The figure is sensitively modeled with hollowed eyes, open mouth, and an arm drawn across the chest, his other hand resting at his side. Painted in cream and red-brown slip, the vessel reflects the Moche tradition of portraying human conditions and disabilities with striking realism. Such effigies are rare survivals that shed light on social identity, ritual practice, and the Moche emphasis on portraying the human condition in all its variety. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium:\u003c\/b\u003e Ceramic \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7 3\/4 inches (19.5 cm), Length: 6 1\/2 inches (16.5 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Probe hole in the base, scattered repairs and resurfacing, stable hair line at the base of the blanket roll. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/b\u003e Private South Florida collection, acquired prior to 1969 from Alan C.
