Idacansas, Guardian of TraditionLuis Alberto Acuña

86
This mural (1950s) depicts Idacansas, the Muisca high priest, seated in Sugamuxi, the sacred city. As spiritual guide and custodian of tradition, he receives offerings of maize, gold, and chicha from devotees. Below, a display of pre-Columbian ceramics and ritual objects echoes this ancestral devotion, linking artistic creation to religious practice and cosmic balance.
