EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry from the Quimbaya area in Colombia. Dating back to the 10th century, this Pectoral anthropomorphous key man type is crafted meticulously out of smelted gold using the cire perdue technique, also known as lost-wax process for shaping metal. The Tolima civilization, a Pre-Inca society that thrived in Colombia during this era, left behind an impressive legacy of goldsmith art. This particular artifact exemplifies their mastery and creativity. The front view captured in this studio shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this horizontal piece against a grey background. With its anthropomorphic face and full-length design, it evokes a sense of mystery and fascination about the people who created it centuries ago. As we gaze upon this golden treasure, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship was revered and valued. It's important to note that this image is not associated with any commercial use but rather serves as a window into history. It reminds us of our connection to the past and offers insight into the rich cultural heritage of Colombia's indigenous civilizations. Through images like these preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), we can continue to appreciate and learn from humanity's artistic achievements throughout time.
