A glasswing butterfly alights on a heliopsis, Mindo rainforest, Ecuador, Dec 2021.

Monkey Face Orchid (Dracula simia), Quito, Ecuador. The flower's unique pattern is formed by its lip, column, and petals, which arrange themselves to look like a monkey's face. The flowers smell similar to a ripe orange #monkey #face #orchid #ecuador #greenhouse #flower #bloomscrolling #nature

This beautiful red and yellow flower is the endangered Globito, named for its tightly closed, balloon-like buds that only open in strong sunlight. Endemic to the high-elevation shrublands and grasslands of #Ecuador, It sits next to an Andean Chamomile #TwoForTuesday #TwosDay #BloomScrolling #Flowers

Effigy figure mold-made ceramic, pigments c. 300 BCE - 600 CE Jama-Coaque culture Ecuador #handmade #ceramic #effigy #jamacoaque #ecuador #warrior #sanisidro #spiritual #funeral #religion #belief #death #precolumbian #prehispanic #ancientart #art #southamerica #culture #sculpture #ancientsculpture

This phenomenal ceramic figure you see here is a part of the Jama-Coaque tradition from 1,400-2,300 years ago! While much of the culture remains elusive, their powerful ceramic figurines tell their stories to us today.

The Jama-Coaque people have an interesting history. They lived in modern-day Ecuador from around 550 B.C. until the Spanish conquered the area. However, they existed in different phases due to a volcanic eruption from the Guagua Pichincha volcano around 90 C.E. The volcano destroyed the area. Still, the culture endured and re-emerged 300 years later with the same craft traditions persevering. They are best known for their mold-made ceramic effigies depicting human figures such as warriors (like this one), hunters, musicians, and religious figures. The main center was San Isidro, which may indicate significant importance in reestablishing their civilization, whether it was because of the religion, region, or economy. These people could have passed on the center’s importance through oral histories and mythologies. These oral histories held the memory of the Jama-Coaque people.
The majority of these mold-made figures are interpreted to represent the shamanistic rituals and practices. The stylized figures depict vivid regalia such as textiles, jewelry, and large headdresses. Some figurines emphasize dynamic movement with kinetic adornments, such as nose rings. This warrior depicted shows an amazing costume with facial jewelry and a weapon, much like a Macuahuitl. It appears to be a club with five nodules on each side; presumably, if modeled after the Macuahuitl, each nodule was made of fine obsidian knives.
While we don’t see the pigment in the statue depicted here. Like other statues of this time, we can assume that it was painted to depict a life full of color, texture, and even sound! These important objects, like these ceramic molds, were passed down to be used almost as an heirloom, connecting history and generations.
