Female Figure with Perforated Headdress

This striking ceramic sculpture from the Calima culture (500-1600 AD) portrays a stylized female figure crowned with a broad, perforated headdress. Likely linked to fertility or ritual status, the exaggerated features and pierced adornment suggest ceremonial significance and a complex symbolic role in pre-Hispanic Valle del Cauca society.
