Title	Ecuador figure
Description	WOOD; This hand-carved statue of a pre-Hispanic woman was hand in Ecuador. Even though this statue is very stylized, it is evident that she is wearing a shoulder mantle (Lliclla) over a tunic-like dress (urku). The lliclla is a rectangular piece of cloth that women put over their shoulders and held in place by a tupu (pin). The standard size was 40 x 45' and was generally decorated with a three-part design based on contracting panels that alternated bands of decoration and bands of solid colors. This figure is carrying her load within a cloth that is tied around her shoulders. She may also be wearing a chumpi or belt.
