Pre Columbian Copper Muisca Tunjo Figure

Item Details

Description

DESCRIPTION: Pre Columbian Copper Muisca Tunjo Figure, the figure is in a seated position decorated with wirelike accoutrement. Sits atop a wooden square base. Weight: 3.6 Grams

This type of figure is known as a tunjo, meant as an offering to communicate with the gods. They are found deposited in Lake Guatavita and other important bodies of water in the region, buried in caches, as grave ornaments, and at the entrances to temples. The use of gold on this example indicates its value - most are made of copper or other less precious metals.
