拍品描述
Description Pre-Columbian, Ecuador or Colombia, La Tolita-Tumaco culture, ca. 1st century BCE to 4th century CE. A hollow-built pottery hermaphrodite ocarina figure of a tall and intriguing form presenting nude atop fused legs and broad feet. The androgynous individual has a petite phallus and scrotum beneath a grooved waistline as well as perky breasts atop the chest, and broad strokes of red-orange slip pigment create vibrant linear motifs atop the highly burnished, tan-hued ground. The proportionate head stares forward with almond-shaped eyes and displays a 50% gold (equivalent to 12K) wire ring through the septum. Two additional 25% gold earrings are suspended from the ear lobes and bear thick, cylindrical beads carved from mottled greenstone. Two tone holes along the verso produce two different notes when air is blown through the opening atop the head. A finely preserved figural example with expert stylization. Size: 5.625" W x 13.4" H (14.3 cm x 34 cm); 14.375" H (36.5 cm) on included custom stand; quality of gold: nose ring is 50% (equivalent to 12K) and earrings are 25%.
