    Description

    A Fine Jama Coaque Male Figure
    Ecuador, c. 500 BC - 500 AD

    A standing chief or male cacique, expertly sculpted in hollow earthenware with red, brown and yellow pigments. He holds a large spear-shaped staff in his left hand, wears a large bead necklace with two tooth-form human pendants, large earspools, two linked rings at his nose, plus a flat plaque attached to his chin. A horn or shell piece is lashed at top of his head. At his waist above the exposed genitals is a wing-shaped garment (?), and similar segmented bands appear on his legs. Examined under blacklight; assembled from approximately 10 large original parts, restoration over the repairs and to tip of horn at top.

    Provenance:
    Private collection, Atlanta, GA
    Stephen and Claudia Munoz-Kramer, Los Angeles. The Kramer collection is featured in the book Colombia Before Columbus (Labbe, 1986) and is a significant part of the Pre-Columbian art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

    Height: 15 inches
