Rare Colima Standing Hunchback Shaman, Comala Type

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 200 BCE - 200 CE. Hunchback figures with their physical deformities were believed to be touched by the divine and endowed with magical powers. It is believed that they were revered as the bearers of good or bad luck. According to Spanish reports, hunchbacks were akin to the jesters, musicians, and/or dancers of medieval Europe. (Von Winning, 1968: p. 71) This standing redware terracotta figure vessel is a marvelous representation of a hunchback shaman. Beyond his prominent hunchback and compromised posture, he presents a somber expression with closed or closing, coffee bean shaped eyes, tightly pursed lips, a noble, hooked nose, and enlarged earlobes pierced for ornaments. Holding his large staff, he proudly stands in his awkwardly compromised position. He wears a crescent-shaped pectoral and strange chest/back protector/brace - flared spout on the top of his head. The surface of this piece is exceptional and near glass in its consistency and texture. Beautiful form and rich burnished finish. A marvelous example! 14-1/2"T x 8-1/2"W x 7"D
