Seated Figure with Cup and Staff

This Quimbaya terracotta sculpture (300–1600 AD) shows a seated figure with a triangular head, holding a staff and cup. These objects likely signified power or ritual duty. The abstract geometry and minimal facial detail reflect the spiritual symbolism of Quimbaya funerary art, emphasizing sacred authority over naturalistic form.
