Anthropomorphic figure also known as "Tunjo - Lot 404
Anthropomorphic figure also known as "Tunjo Archaeological gold. Height: 3.5 cm Muisca culture, ca. 1000-1500 A.D. Colombia. Small votive figurine representing a stylized standing figure holding a thruster. This work is a lost-wax casting. It testifies to the skill of Amerindian goldsmiths.
