Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Pre-Columbian, Central Coast Peru, Chancay culture, ca. 800 to 1470 CE. A hand-carved wood funerary figure of a standing man, simplified without arms, and a face highlighted by red and black pigments. This man would have once been covered with textile clothing that may have consisted of a headdress band and tunic- sometimes human hair was added as well! Chancay wood carvings are best known for their simple forms and sober visages using wood found in their coastal deserts to create decorative objects such as masks and statues. Scholars believe that such figures and cloth dolls were created to represent mortals rather than supernatural deities or spirits and such figures dressed in textiles are often found in tombs, their purpose is unclear, but it is probable they represented family members or servants to accompany the deceased to the afterlife. Size: 3" L x 1.5" W x 11" H (7.6 cm x 3.8 cm x 27.9 cm); 12.5" H (31.8 cm) on included custom stand.
