Choco Medicine Stick, Embera, Panama-Colombia
H. 98 cm
Sensitivity of the minimalist style and the finesse of the lines. Atypical posture of the standing figure with disproportionately curved arms in slight relief extending and undulating over the chest to the chest. Face with a slightly aquiline prominent nose. These sticks linked to the medicinal cult were inhabited by the invisible force of the Jaï, supernatural entities, spirits with which the shamans were in contact, which they could capture and control.
