Description:

Pre-Columbian, Colombia, ca. 500 to 1500 CE. An interesting abstract human figure with a wide, flat face and deep-set coffee-bean eyes. The figure has a large headdress with incised horizontal decoration and small spool earrings; they appear to be wearing some shoulder jewelry and a skirt. The craftsmanship of the piece is obvious, with clear lines and details where the pottery joins together. The figure is only detailed on the front, with a rough back, suggesting that wherever it was made to be placed, it was against a wall or lying down. Comes with custom stand. Size: 5.45" W x 8" H (13.8 cm x 20.3 cm)
