A face with perfect features on a texture that invites you to touch it. The physiognomy of an ancient inhabitant of the Colombian Pacific Coast is depicted in clay; the likeness of the portrait that allows to recognize the person is given by the facial traits, and not, as usual, by the ornaments and chiefly attire.
