- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque (Jama Coaque) culture, ca. 500 CE. A fabulous mold-formed pottery standing female ocarina figure wearing a knee-length skirt around tapering hips. She presents with arms and open hands extended to her sides, rounded shoulders, and an elaborate beaded necklace with a columnar pendant hanging between perky breasts. The stylized visage is composed of semicircular eyes with incised lids, a prominent nose with a huge nose ring above petite lips, curved ears bedecked with several earrings, and a puffy brow, all beneath an enormous headdress with lateral panels. The beige-slipped ocarina has 2 tone holes on the front and back of the legs and a small blow hole atop the head, though the instrument produces no sound when played. Size: 5.875" W x 10.875" H (14.9 cm x 27.6 cm); 11.25" H (28.6 cm) on included custom stand.
