Ceramic representation of a seated anthropomorphic figure, crafted in Ecuador as an academic replica of archaeological pieces from local coastal cultures.
History: Ceramic reproductions made in Ecuador during the second half of the 20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, aimed to emulate the technical sophistication of the Jama-Coaque culture (350 BC – 1530 AD). The manual 'COPIA' inscription on the base was a legal requirement to distinguish these pieces from archaeological originals and allow their export as high-level craftsmanship.
Details and Characteristics:
- Period: 1970s
- Technique: Clay modeling with manual polychrome finish using mineral pigments in reddish and ochre tones.
- Size: Height 19 cm (7.48 inches). Weight approximately 380 g (0.84 lbs).
- Material: Fired clay, natural pigments.
- Condition: Excellent state of preservation. It features a surface patina simulating natural aging and the authentic 'COPIA ECUADOR' inscription engraved on the base.
Value and Use: An item of interest for archaeological reproduction collectors, ethnic-style interior decoration, or the study of Andean pre-Columbian iconography.
