Description: Pre-columbian terracotta shaman figure with zoomorphic elements. The figure most likely represents a shaman with a beak (of a bird) as a nose and massive double ear ornaments. It holds some round artifact in its hands and wears ceremonial clothing. It appears that the headdress transitions smoothly into the large background. Perhaps used as an amulet.
