- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque, ca. 0 to 500 CE. A mold-made pottery whistle in the form of a highly decorated standing figure. The artisans of the Jama Coaque culture, named for the modern day towns of Jama and Coaque, are best known for their ceramic vessels and figurines created for ritualistic purposes. This figural whistle depicts a bare-chested figure (note the revealed nipples) donning a lofty headdress, bands of incised curvilinear motifs adorning the arms and lower torso (perhaps clothing or body decoration), and a beaded necklace. She looks forward with wide-open almond-shaped eyes framed by arched brows and an open mouth as if singing, praying, or chanting, and stands with erect posture and arms at her sides. Liberal amounts of blue-green and yellow pigment still embellish the piece. There is a blow hole and a sound hole on the verso (top and bottom respectively). Size: 4.75" W x 8.625" H (12.1 cm x 21.9 cm)
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
