Greater Nicoya Seated Male Statue

98
This volcanic stone sculpture (500–800) shows a seated male figure adorned with a beaded necklace and a calm, direct expression. His posture and nudity suggest ritual purity. The figure may represent a community leader or ritual participant from the Guanacaste–Nicoya region of ancient Costa Rica.
