Nicoya Female Figure on Feline

113
Esta escultura de cerámica de Nicoya (800–1350) representa a una mujer sentada que sostiene un cuenco y monta un felino, probablemente un jaguar. El torso perforado y la pintura estilizada resaltan roles simbólicos relacionados con la fertilidad y el ritual. Los jaguares estaban vinculados al poder chamánico y al inframundo, lo que refuerza la autoridad espiritual de la figura.
