breastplate in the form of a jaguar-man | c. 1 BCE - 700 CE | tolima and quimbaya culture fusion (found in modern-day quindío, colombia)

"It probably personifies a jaguar-man, as suggested by the fretworks on the body which seem to depict the spots on the skin, the prominent mouth showing his teeth and the spread out posture of the body as if lying on his abdomen. The face, looking human, presents two longitudinal bands of face paint crossing the eyes." x

Lime Container (Poporo)

Quimbaya, 1st–7th century

In Andean South America, there is an indigenous tradition for the ritual use of coca leaves. In Precolumbian times the chief method of using coca was to place a quid of leaves into the mouth and add a small amount of powdered lime, made from calcined seashells. Standard coca-chewing paraphernalia included a small bag for the leaves and a container and a spatula or spoon for the lime. The utensils could be quite elaborate and made of precious materials. Lime containers from Colombia, known as "poporos," were often cast in gold in the form of nude human figures or as flasks incorporating raised nude images on each side. Both figures and flasks exhibit great elegance of conception, manufacture, and finish. The shouldered bottle here, adorned on either side with a female figure, still contains powdered lime.

un dibujo de Imura, querrera Quimbaya de Colombia. tiene una gran pasion, es artista, adora dibujar sobre las piedras, ella misma confecciono su atuendo. inteligente pero bastante terca y ruda, ella no lo piensa dos veces si pretende atacar al enemigo, y para ellas, todo lo que se mueva es el enemigo. XD

 Zazipa estaría tipo : mira, mi deber es viajar y hablar con las comunidades, si los matas no cumpliré mi misión... entonces ¿¿PODRIAS DE DEJAR DE ATACAR A TODOS???

Datazo: Imura casi siempre usa una ruana y una mascara de guerra para ocultar su rostro.

¿Qué son los aviones de oro de la cultura Quimbaya y cuál es su importancia histórica?

Los maravillosos objetos evidencian la destreza que tenía la comunidad indígena para la orfebrería.
