Diquís Stone Figure in Squatting Pose

This stone sculpture (1000–400 BC) from the Diquís region of Costa Rica represents a squatting human figure, a pose often tied to fertility, shamanic transformation, or ancestral authority. The stylized features and massive form suggest a ceremonial role, evoking the spiritual cosmology of pre-Columbian societies.
