O soše
Figure in a Litter, a Wari-style ceramic dated 500–900, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The identity may be a deity, ancestral mummy or masked person, but its signs of authority are clear. Divided eyes and fangs belong to supernatural imagery. Holes between the cupped hands may once have held staffs. Knobs indicate the carrying poles of a litter, transport reserved for high-ranking people and borne on human shoulders. Thermoluminescence gives a broader date of 590–1090. On view in room 232 Andean.
Slovy muzea
Whether a deity, ancestral mummy, or masked human, this figure signals power. The divided eyes and fangs are traits of supernatural beings. The hands are cupped around holes that once perhaps held staffs, symbols of human and divine authority. And the litter was a mode of travel reserved for those of high station; the knobs refer to poles that rested on the shoulders of human bearers.
