Jamacoaque Polychrome Articulated Shaman Bird Figure

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Jamacoaque (Jama Coaque) culture, ca. 500 CE. A remarkable mold-formed pottery effigy figure formed of 4 separate pieces as a shaman standing upright with wings! The pieces are connected via modern wooden rods- the hollow tubes within each piece suggest this is how the figure was originally put together. He stands on a hollow, cylindrical base, a tail projecting from his posterior, and the 2 wings outstretched and attached to the shoulders. He is elaborately dressed in a tall headdress, earspools, necklace, and a white tunic or poncho over his torso. He is finely detailed with raised nodules and ridges across his wings, and all is painted in a green-blue, ochre, and white on the slipped orange surface. This shaman is imaginatively captured in a trance as he transforms into a bird in order to fly to other realms to commune with spirits! Size: 8" L x 3" W x 6" H (20.3 cm x 7.6 cm x 15.2 cm)

For a similar example and a video showing how the figure fits together please see the Museo Casa del Alabado website's piece of the month for September 2020 "Jama-Coaque Winged Man."
