7343 Jama Coaque Seated Female C. Pre-Columbian Ecuador, Northern Manabi Province. Ca 500BC-AD500. Height 18-1/2". This tall and unusual sitting female figure, holding pestle and small mortar. The facial features, the personal adornments and the pose is typical of the Bahia figures, but the particular use of post-firing blue paint color is strictly Jama-Coaque. The Bahia and Jama-Coaque people were neighbors and contemporaries. Objects like this one show the constant contacts that pre-Columbian people had. Articulated pending earrings.
