Kimball Art Museum Lecture
"Precious Adornments: Figurines in the Ancient Andes"
Kimberly Jones, The Ellen and Harry S. Parker III Assistant Curator of the Arts of the Americas, Dallas Museum of Art
This talk will focus on small-scale humanlike figurines from early pre-Inca cultures along the western coast and highland Andes of modern-day Peru. These anthropomorphic figurines—created in clay, wood, stone, bone, or shell—range in size from miniature pendants to doll-like effigies. Some of these precious objects were worn, and some were adorned with textiles, shell inlay, or precious stones, thus reflecting differences in their function, value, and meaning.
