Anthropomorphous
motifs are widespread on clay figures from the Cundinamarca
- Boyacá high plains. This one depicts a man whose
eyes and mouth have been made from double strips in order
to create the typical "coffee bean" feature. The
chroniclers of the conquest tell how priests used to have
pairs of these kinds of figures on their shrines.
