Description
QEColombia. Seated shaman wearing a condor helmet and holding a crocodile sceptre. Tumbaga-type alloy. Height approx. 10 cm. Approx. 137 g. Presumed copper-gold alloy. Composition undetermined. The condor accompanies the spiritual guide’s ascent, his closed eyes symbolising the shamanic trance. The young crocodile adorning the sceptre, a symbol of occult knowledge, is the quintessential shamanic animal. Lord of the forces of death and rebirth, master of the primordial waters, he is the father of the earth. A cushion, a necklace with a precious pendant, bracelets on the arms, wrists and ankles – all distinctive signs of a high-ranking figure. Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Undated. In the style of the Kogi/Tairona civilisation.
