Figure of a Pregnant Woman

Ecuadorian, 2300-2000 BC (Formative)

The female figurines are most often found in middens (trash deposits), usually broken in several pieces. Their relative frequency and simple manufacture suggests that they may have been used in fertility rituals and then discarded. Male figures, distinguishable from the females by the presence of a small bulge at the groin, are relatively rare.

Double-headed figure

Valdivia

2300–2200 BCE

Some of the earliest known works of art in western South America have been found on Ecuador's Santa Elena Peninsula, where the Valdivia peoples produced small stone and ceramic figurines. These latter statuettes were produced from two slabs of clay pressed together to form the torso and legs. Predominantly female, these figurines often depict women in various stages of their lives. There are examples, however, of figurines with both male and female characteristics, as well as figures, like the one pictured here, which display more than one individual. As seen in the figurine here, two female heads and torsos emerge from a shared lower body. The women's faces are tilted slightly and their expressions are formed by small horizontal incisions. Both figures have short caplike hair and round prominent breasts, appearing from the waist up as mirror images of each other. Their arms are clasped below their chests and their legs are splayed in typical Valdivian figurine stance. Commonly interpreted as fertility figures and/or guardian spirits, the exact purpose of these precocious figurines remains unknown.

Maldito destino que me condeno a ser un premio de consuelo. Maldita esta eterna agonía de desear nunca mas ver la luz del día. Maldito el deseo de que el silencio eterno llegue antes que el estío. Malditos los campos llenos de promesas marchitas. Maldita sea la luz que ahoga con recuerdos la mente día a día. Maldita y adictiva soledad que me consuela cuando ella ya no esta. Maldita mi realidad que a nadie le importara jamás. Maldita vida, que torturas los sentimientos, castigas la sabiduría, y destruyes los sueños. Maldita seas...
