Ecuador
Jama-Coaque Culture 500 BC - 500 AD
Representation of a shaman with offerings
Ochre ceramic, traces of manganese oxides
23 x 13 cm
Restorations, minor accidents
Loudmer sale, Paris, Drouot 1986
The subject is depicted seated, with short but powerful legs, arms bent, pressed against the body, hands presenting offerings. A long loincloth covers the shaman almost entirely, the fabric receiving circular patterns materialized by the pastillage technique. The face has wide-open eyes framing an eagle-beak nose, the latter decorated with a large spherical nariguera (nose ornament), the chin pierced with a large triangular labret (tembleta). The character has ears decorated with large circular tambas (earrings), the neck decorated with a necklace with a curved pectoral.
The hairstyle is characterized by a double row of truncated cone-shaped elements reminiscent of feathers, the latter covered by a headdress falling over the shoulders and covered with circular motifs like the loincloth, the top of the headdress having a shuttle-shaped element. The back of the skull pierced with a drainage hole.
The Jama-Coaque culture developed on the central coast of Ecuador, south of La Tolita. Like the Bahía and La Tolita cultures, it is the product of the original development of the Chorrera culture (1000 BC). Particularly renowned for its elegant ceramic figurines with stereotypical features, these are distinguished by the variety and richness of their ornamentation. Close to the Tumaco-Tolita culture, it nevertheless differs in its approach to ceramics through a combination of incised relief. Similarly, a significant part of the ceramic production is of a ceremonial nature and often depicts high-ranking figures.

- Height : 23 cm cm
