Sculpture made in volcanic basaltic rock, carved in high and low relief. It presents human features with folded arms and closed hands, characteristic of Upper Magdalena statuary. Dimensions: 143 × 205 × 67 cm.
This sculpture combines human and animal features (anthropozoomorphic), featuring prominent large fangs. The low-relief carving technique creates depth to highlight elements such as the nose, arms, and headdress. It is one of the 6 pieces officially registered with ICANH through Resolution 1457 of 2023.
