EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking ancient Jama-Coaque figure, dating back to around 500 BC to 500 AD, is a testament to the rich cultural history of the northern coast of Ecuador. Belonging to the Chone type of the Jama-Coaque civilization, this anthropomorphic ceramic piece measures 37 x 20 cm and depicts a male figure with intricate details and expressive features. The Jama-Coaque culture, inhabiting the area between the Chone and Esmeraldas rivers, is known for its advanced ceramic techniques and intricate designs, reflecting their deep connection to the natural world and their belief in a complex pantheon of deities. The figure's elongated head and slender body, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and stylized representations of animals and plants, are characteristic of Jama-Coaque art. The figure's expressive face, with its wide-open eyes and slightly upturned lips, suggests a sense of calm and serenity. The figure's hands are positioned in a prayer-like pose, further emphasizing the spiritual significance of this piece. The Jama-Coaque civilization thrived along the coastline of present-day Ecuador, with Cabo San Francisco serving as an important archaeological site. This figure, now in a private collection, offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of this ancient civilization, providing valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of the people who once inhabited this region over 2,000 years ago.
