This print showcases the exquisite artistry of polychrome terracotta maternity statuettes from Bahia de Caraquez, dating back to the 5th century B. C. to the 5th century A. D. These Pre-Columbian treasures offer a glimpse into the ancient civilization of Ecuador and its rich cultural heritage. In this studio shot, two beautifully carved figurines steal the spotlight against a colored or grey background, highlighting their intricate details and vibrant colors. The female likeness is depicted with utmost care and precision, emphasizing motherhood as a central theme in South American culture. The statues depict women cradling their babies with tenderness and love, symbolizing the timeless bond between mother and child. Their headdresses add an element of elegance and signify their significance within society during that era. These precious artifacts serve as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of ancient artisans who used terracotta as their medium. Preserved through centuries, they provide valuable insights into childhood practices and maternal care prevalent in Bahia de Caraquez during this period. As we admire these remarkable pieces of art, we are transported back in time to witness glimpses of an extraordinary civilization that thrived long before our modern world came into existence.
