Description:

The Jama-Coaque culture of the Pacific coast on Ecuador is known for its figurative ceramics. The artisans created large, molded statues of people adorned with appliques and beautifully painted with intriguing hues. This seated female dons fine attire with elaborate jewelry and holds an object in each hand, perhaps a musical instrument. The adept applique work and relief carving on her necklace are most impressive, bringing this piece to life. -- Very finely detailed and colorful figure, an excellent example, 5.5" x 4" x 6"Long, Jama Coaque Culture, Ecuador, C. 500AD.
