Hello,
Your item appears to be a modern or contemporary representation of pre-Columbian or ancient indigenous art motifs, likely inspired by Tolima or similar styles from Colombia. The geometric shapes, vibrant use of color, and stylized facial features reflect modern interpretations of ancient figures that could have been associated with ritual or symbolic representations. However, it is important to note that the abstract and colorful design does not fully align with authentic Tolima artworks, which typically consisted of gold objects and detailed symbolic engravings.
The framed piece’s material seems to be a combination of painted or printed imagery rather than a handcrafted ancient artifact. Pre-Columbian art from the Tolima culture, known for their metallurgical prowess, would have been made from gold and copper alloys, commonly depicted in their famous masks and small figurines used in ceremonial contexts. This modern art piece may draw inspiration from these sources but lacks the historical context and authenticity of an original pre-Columbian work.
