*Chaman seated
Magnificent seated shaman, his waist covered with a wide, incised belt. He wears a turtle-shell pendant on his chest. In one hand, he holds an instrument that he is about to throw dexterously at its target. His face displays a beautiful, concentrated expression, with a fixed gaze and a three-quarter-turned head. The broad sagittal crest attests to his status as a shaman. The posture and gestures of this figure are remarkable. Orange and coffee-red terra cotta, age marks, good overall condition. Restorations.
