Seated Figure with Rectangular Headdress
This stylized ceramic figure from the Cauca region (7th–10th cc.) combines a rectangular, perforated head with blocky limbs and a prominent nose. The small holes may have held ornaments or supported a headdress, reinforcing its mask-like appearance. Such figures likely served in ritual contexts, where their abstract forms emphasized ancestral or shamanic presence rather than individual likeness.
