The Karaja, also referred to as Iny, are an indigenous tribe residing in the Brazilian Amazon. Their self-sufficiency is built upon their agricultural practices and craftsmanship. Housed within the esteemed British Museum, this artifact offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Brazil and South America. The vibrant colors and intricate details of these figurines highlight their significance within local religious beliefs and customs. Dating back to the 20th century, these clay sculptures represent more than just distorted body proportions; they symbolize fertility and motherhood. As objects of devotion, they embody goddess-like qualities that were revered by the indigenous population.
