Item Details
Description
A Ceremonial Wooden Post Depicting a Standing Female Chimu, Peru, 900-1470 CE

The sculpture represents a naked female with an unnaturally large head standing in a rigid position. Her hair and eye sockets were painted dark brown, and her face with a glossy paint of red cinnabar resin. The woman's torso and her extremities are less carefully sculptured and it is possible they were originally covered. Figures of female characters are much rarer than males in Chimu art.

Height: 106 cm
