- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jama-Coaque, ca 500 CE. An expressive example of an important female elder, sitting with her hands upon the knees of her outstretched legs. The sculptor has indicated this lady's advanced age via the many incised wrinkles on her face as well as her pendulous breasts. Her elite status is quite clear, given how highly decorated she is - wearing a headdress, large hooped ear ornaments, a grand 'beaded' pectoral, a nose ring, and bracelets - all embellished with beautiful aqua blue pigment. Notice the additional applied yellow pigment on her person as well. A very special example from the Jamacoaque of ancient Ecuador. Size: 4.625" H (11.7 cm)
Consult "Pre-Columbian Art of South America" by Alan Lapiner and "Amerindian Signs, 5000 Years of Pre-Columbian Art in Ecuador" by Valdez for similar examples of this type.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA
