| Title |
Figural Pendant |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
Colombia's Tolima region is justly famous for arrestingly abstracted figures like this one, which is among the largest of its kind. Such figures-worn as necklace pendants by chiefs and other elites-seem to be based on the human form. But they also incorporate animal features, often an upturned, bifurcated tail sometimes compared to that of a serpent and large, angled head appendages that may refer to animal ears or even insect antennae. |
