Description:

Ecuador, Manabí Province, ca 500 CE. The Jama Coaque culture of the Pacific coast of Ecuador is known for its pottery, especially large human-shaped molded statues adorned with appliqués and painted with pigment. The artist of this piece ornamented the body with a grand headdress, nose ring, necklace, wrist cuffs, and red pigment. The Jama-Coaque trace their heritage to the Chorrera people; however, several iconographic and stylistic features indicate that the Jama-Coaque were influenced by Mesoamerican traditions. 10-1/4"L x 4-3/4"W x 3-1/2"D.
