- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Central Highlands, Ibarra region, ca. 500 to 1500 CE. A charming sculpture of a corpulent manatee laying on a round-topped boulder, hand-carved from mottled espresso-hued stone with beige, light-brown, and sage-green inclusions. The animal boasts a wide body which tapers to a lengthy conical tail, a pair of hanging arms, and a bulbous head with string-cut nostrils and lips as well as drilled eyes. The upper surface exhibits a nicely-polished texture, and the base still retains its original surface texture. Size: 3.75" L x 2.7" W x 2" H (9.5 cm x 6.9 cm x 5.1 cm).
