- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Columbia, Calima culture, ca. 600 BCE to 200 CE. Two wonderful hand-built anthropomorphic terracotta vessels. The cylindrical cups form the bodies of the male and female figures; squatting with hands on their knees and heads rising from the rims. A small bump between the man's legs indicates his genitalia. Incised geometric designs detail the figures' torsos and arms that may represent clothing, jewelry, or tattooing and scarification. Their ears are pierced, and may have had separate ornamentation. The faces present with squinty expressions due to the deep inset lines that form the eyes, and slightly open mouths. The coiffures on both are intricate with flowing locks over the women's shoulders, and raised ridges with an incised headdress on the man. Both vessels are exquisitely detailed examples of "cargador" figures, people carrying vessels upon their backs, that mimic real-life workers with baskets. A rare treat to have a paired couple! Size of woman: 3.1" W x 4.375" H (7.9 cm x 11.1 cm); man: 3.25" W x 5.25" H (8.3 cm x 13.3 cm)
