Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Quimbaya culture, Colombia, ca. 1000 to 1250 CE. This is a charming hollow pottery figure with tubular arms and legs. He is seated with one arm raised and one to his knee, with obvious genitalia and finely rendered feet and toes. The face is a delight, upturned with slits for eyes and mouth and a prominent, bulbous nose with open nostrils; given the Quimbaya penchant for large gold ornaments, at one time this piece may have had gold through his nose and his pierced ears; the grooves around his knees/ankles may also be evidence for missing gold bands. He has the remains of what looks almost like a painted shirt, or at least some color delineating the chest from the rest of the body. This guy and ones like him are known as slab figures, and they were placed with burials in shaft and chamber tombs, perhaps as guardians or companions for the deceased. Compare this figure to the one held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Size: 6.5" W x 7.5" H (16.5 cm x 19 cm)
