Pre-Columbian, Peru, Chimú culture, ca. 900 to 1470 CE. A carved wooden standing figure with a cap, a broad face and arms held at the sides.

The Chimú ruled the north coast of Peru from their capital Chan Chan, a vast adobe city in the Moche valley near present-day Trujillo, until the Inca conquest around 1470. Carved wooden figures were used in tombs and shrines. Private collection of a California physician; ex Royal Athena Gallery, NYC, 1981–82.
