Standing Female Figure with Earspools (image 4 of 5) is an intriguing piece of ancient art from the Americas, dating between the 8th and 11th centuries. The figure, of unknown origin, is believed to be from the Sinu culture of Colombia or the surrounding regions of South America. This sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the ancient peoples of the continent. The figure is depicted as a standing woman, adorned with earspools, which were likely used for both decorative and practical purposes, such as protecting the ears from piercings or acting as earplugs. The figure is made of slip-painted ceramic, a technique common in ancient American art. The colorful design on the figure's body and the intricate detailing of her features suggest that this piece was an important and valued possession. This figure is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States.
