La Tolita Large Parrot
A gorgeous large white Parrot from La Tolita culture, Ecuador. As with most clay pottery from this culture, the detail and realism are always striking. This bird sculpture is sitting on top of a domed base posed with its head turned, preening its feathers. Nice incised detail over head and body. Made using a volcanic grainy clay deposited during the 467 BC Palulahua eruption. Reassembled and restored. Esmeraldas region. 300 BC-100 AD. Measures an impressive 9″ in length. Stand provided and ready for display.
