It is crafted from tumbaga – an alloy of gold and copper – and Early Quimbaya goldsmiths were skilled at producing spectacular hollow objects like this one ✨ The figure is seated on a ritual stool indicative of her high status, and her eyes are half closed as if to signal a contemplative state of mind.
