Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Manabi Province, Jamacoaque (also Jama Coaque or Jama-Coaque) culture, ca. 500 CE. A hollow-built pottery figure of a cacique, an elderly male individual who is perceived as a powerful or elite member of society. The orange-painted man sits atop an integral plug-shaped stool, wears blue-green bangles on his wrists, calves, and ankles, and holds a fragment of a missing item to his mouth, perhaps a drinking vessel or a smoking pipe. Incised striations across his cheeks and brow indicate his advanced age, and his elaborate headdress wraps around the circular opening atop his head. A colorful example of ancient Jamacoaque figural artistry! Size: 3" L x 2.5" W x 3.75" H (7.6 cm x 6.4 cm x 9.5 cm)

Provenance: private southern California, USA collection acquired pre-1970.
