Quimbaya culture / 800 - 1200 AD


Anthropomorphic stauette representing a stylized character. The figure is standing and has an oblong body with atrophied sex and limbs, the arms folded over the upper part of the body.
The head, placed directly on the body, is inscribed in a quadrangular space, the mouth and eyes materialized by fine incisions, the nose disproportionately large. A large part of the body once decorated with a dark band.
A clay ball inserted into the statuette, thus serving as a sounding board.
