Amber Figurine of a Taíno Chief

Carved from Dominican amber (20th c.), this figurine represents a cacique, or Taíno chief, honoring the island’s indigenous heritage. The use of the fossilized resin unique to the Caribbean symbolizes a connection to the ancient natural world. Its translucent glow evokes both cultural memory and the enduring mystique of pre-Columbian society.
