Item Details
Description

Jama Coaque Ceremonial Maskette, Ecuador, ca. 400 BCE - 500 CE.

Maskette with hollow eyes, pursed lips, pinned dimples, and protruding chin wearing a separate facial covering. Ceremonial mask representing the 2 sides of spirit.

The Jama-Coaque communities were skilled in creating ceramic pottery items as well, which again showed that they were a very sophisticated tribe. The pottery recovered from the sites is on display at the Jama Municipal Museum. Tragically, the entire culture was lost when the Spanish invaded Ecuador on a mission to conquer the Inca Empire.
