- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Manteno, ca. 1000 CE. A fabulous hand-carved stone relief of rectangular form exhibiting three seated figures, all presenting thick bodies with raised shins, large arms, flat heads, and incised fingers and toes. Each of their sizable visages displays slender eyes, a triangular nose, and an incised mouth held in a gentle smile above a pointed chin, all flanked by huge, corseted ears. They all sit in varying positions. The left-most figure holds both his hands up to either side of his head with arms bent at his elbows, while the middle figure spreads both arms outwards, exposing her circular breasts. The last figure holds both hands to his chest, as he rests his forearms upon the top of his knees. Size: 15.125" W x 4.75" H (38.4 cm x 12.1 cm)
The Manteno lived on Ecuador's coast, with two main temples, one located on the mainland coast and the other on Puna Island, which is protected by the coast. At these temples, people came to worship a goddess, using many of the methods known from elsewhere in ancient South America - shamanism associated with transformation in jaguars and other animals, the burning of incense for ceremonies, and veneration of rulers.
Provenance: ex-private D. Badovinac collection, Valencia, California, USA acquired between 1983 to 1985
