This is the third figure of the trio of the rare, large Postclassic Colima figures from the Silver collection. Studied by Hasso von Winning in the late 1960s, the figures illustrate shaman on the ceremonial cane and bamboo stools known as equipales, seats of divine power. Carl Lumholtz studied the Huichol and Cora Indians of the Sierra Madre Occidental in the 1890s, providing detailed accounts on the rituals and festivals surrounding shaman using similar stools. This figure wears the accoutrements of a well dressed ceremonial figure, with thick patterned belt and loincloth, leg and arm jewelry, with the broad collar and headband showing crisscrossed ties at the back.
