- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque (Jama Coaque) culture, ca. 500 to 1000 CE. A fine example of a hollow-built pottery female figure shown seated with both legs stretched out in front of her skirt-covered lap. The upright woman presents holding both bent arms at her sides, with her right hand open with an upward-facing palm, and her left hand grasping a vertically striated mug. Noteworthy to this sculpture is her finely striated face - indicative of being flayed - which still bears almond-shaped eyes and a thick septum plug. Covered in red and orange pigment, this is a fine example of Jamacoaque figural artistry! Size: 4" W x 6.1" H (10.2 cm x 15.5 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
