Tunjos (Votive Offering Figurine)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Golden figurine with a triangular body and head, wearing a hat. The figurine has a face with two eyes, one nose and one mouth. Two circular earrings adorn the sides of the face. The body is decorated with etched designs. A V-shaped cutout is at the bottom. The background is dark gray to light grey. The style appears to be pre-Columbian, specifically Tunjo, which were created by the Muisca people.
