Culture: Sicán Region: Peru Date/Origin: Circa AD 850–1100 Type: Beaker Material: Gold Dimensions: 5 3/4 × 4 9/16 in. Description: Decorated with eight repoussé and incised toads, likely representing Bufo marinus, a species native to the arid north coast of Peru. Each figure is detailed with sets of incised circular motifs suggesting the textured skin characteristic of the animal. The vessel’s flared profile and rhythmic arrangement of the figures create a striking ceremonial form typical of Sicán metalwork. A desirable example valued for both sculptural presence and refined technical execution. Provenance:
