Greater Nicoya Seated Male Figure

317
Esta escultura de piedra volcánica (500–800) representa a un hombre desnudo en una postura en cuclillas y contemplativa, que posiblemente simboliza a un participante en un ritual o a un ancestro. Los rasgos estilizados y el gesto de los brazos cruzados evocan introspección y quietud, comunes en figuras vinculadas al simbolismo funerario o chamánico en las tradiciones de la Gran Nicoya.
