Sculpture of an Hermaphrodite

myminifactory

This sculpture, crafted in Costa Rica's Atlantic Zone, depicts a person with striking hermaphroditic characteristics. These representations played a pivotal role within the artistic expressions of pre-Columbian cultures, whose dual symbolism (masculine-feminine) is deeply intertwined with fertility, and their indigenous elites were both carriers and reproducers. The fact that a human or mythical being with such distinctive features has been brought to life in stone underscores its significant standing within society.
