- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque (Jama Coaque) culture, ca. 500 CE. A trio of mold-formed pottery effigy creatures! The slightly squat and rounded animal is a monkey, sitting with his head bearing a snarling expression, and faint blue-green pigment highlights his face. The head features a pair of circular, bulging eyes set behind a protruding snout with teeth bared. A slinky tail curls up his back, and bracelets adorn his front paws. The other two animals perhaps represent jaguars that sit similarly, crouching with their four feet tucked in front. Their faces are also furrowed into expressions of ferocity; their tongues protrude from between their large fangs. All 3 are hollow with one or two vent holes for firing and contain esoteric elements perhaps to symbolize shamans transitioning into animal forms. Size of monkey: 3" L x 3" W x 3.5" H (7.6 cm x 7.6 cm x 8.9 cm); larger jaguar: 2.25" L x 2" W x 4" H (5.7 cm x 5.1 cm x 10.2 cm)
Provenance: private Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA collection; ex-Minerva Gallery; ex-Benjamin Vega, California, USA, acquired in 2006 to 2007; ex-Gene and Virginia George, brought to the USA from 1961 to 1966
