- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque culture (also Jama Coaque), ca. 0 to 500 CE. A finely hand-built, skillfully modeled, and beautifully painted seated figure who holds a mortar and pestle. The figure is highly decorated, donning a grand headdress with dotted appliques, a 'beaded' rim, and long earflaps, a beautiful tunic with multiple appliques, sizeable earrings, a necklace, and a large nose ornament. Also note that considerable remains of blue-green and red pigment applied after firing have survived the tests of time. The blue-green ornaments were probably intended to represent coveted jade, turquoise, or even emerald. Size: 4" W x 5.375" H (10.2 cm x 13.7 cm)
Dress and ornament were identifiers of clans and ethnic groups as well as 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. This individual was most certainly an important individual given his elaborately decorated state.
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.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
