Narino Pottery Statue Seated Coca Chewer

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Colombia, Narino Complex, ca. 1000 to 1250 CE. A hand-modeled statue of a male coca chewer, known as a coquero, sitting upon an integral bench, a bulge from the coca wad in his right cheek. As the chewer ruminates, the leaves become mixed into a ball with saliva and possibly a substance such as lime to enhance the alkaloid effects. Coca chewing was not only for religious rituals and inducing trance like states, but as a stimulant for relieving discomfort while working, suppressing fatigue, altitude sickness, hunger, and thirst - its use was widespread amongst marching soldiers and laborers. The surface of this resting man is highly burnished and painted with burnt sienna slip with dark decorations. Size: 4.9" L x 4.9" W x 8.1" H (12.4 cm x 12.4 cm x 20.6 cm)
