Pre-Columbian Style Terracotta Effigy

This large hand-built terracotta vessel features a globular body decorated with a variety of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic relief motifs. The central figure displays a stylized face with coffee-bean eyes, while animal figures and limb-like protrusions extend from the sides. The dark, earthen-toned surface suggests a traditional firing method and exhibits heavy weathering consistent with its folk art or pre-Columbian style.
