- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque (Jama Coaque), ca. 500 CE. A lovely example of a polychrome female Jamacoaque figure, standing straight with arms extended from her sides and palms facing outward with nicely delineated lines. While her breasts are revealed, she is otherwise dressed in a long blue-striped skirt and an elaborate headdress with long lappets at either side. Her face is delineated with bold features, and she is bedecked with a thick cord necklace as well as ear and nose ornaments. Details are delineated in pigments of blue-green, red, and ochre hues. The pale green of the ornaments applied after firing was probably intended to represent jade, turquoise, or even emerald. Most Jama Coaque figures are not finished on the backside; this one, however, does shows nice detailing on the back. Size: 6.625" W x 12.75" H (16.8 cm x 32.4 cm); 13" H (33 cm) on included custom stand.
The Jama Coaque culture named for the towns of Jama and Coaque of the Pacific coast of Ecuador is known for its pottery, especially large human-shaped molded statues adorned with appliques and painted with rich pigments. Dress and ornament were identifiers of clans and ethnic groups and markers of rank among many ancient American peoples. Information encoded in elements of clothing and jewelry would have been understood by the members of those groups. Nice example replete with manganese blooms!
