Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Terracotta maternity statuette Karaja, Litjoko, in natural colors derived from the essences of Genipapo, for black, and Urukum, for red. These colors that the Karaja use on every occasion for body and ritual painting. The rituals and feather art of the KARAJA, who live
in the Amazonian state of Tocantins (Brazil), particularly on the island of Bananal, have preserved an ancient and often warlike tradition. There are around 6000 of them.
Remarkable condition AUTHENTIC PIECE

The ceramic production of the Iny Karajà women, very original, is centered on human representation. Through these statuettes, women express their creativity by diversifying forms and themes: scenes of daily life, mythical figures, ritual scenes, characters representing the different age classes of society. From a social reproduction function intended for little girls as toys with educational value, they have today become the symbol of Karajà culture for the outside world.
