Indigenous to the tri-border region where Colombia, Peru, and Brazil meet, the Ticuna people have long distinguished between two kinds of carved figures. Clan animals — ancestors of extended families — are shown wearing skirts to signify old age and wisdom. Mythological figures wear pants. This monkey wears pants. It is not an ancestor. It is something else: a trickster spirit of mischief and play, kin in spirit to Hanuman in Hindu tradition and Sun Wukong in Chinese folklore. A free presence from the canopy, brought into the home for the energy it carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.85;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 16px\"\u003eEvery mark on a Ticuna figure is made by hand from materials gathered in the rainforest. The body is carved from balsa wood. The clothing is yanchama, a soft fiber cloth made by stripping bark from a rainforest tree, soaking it, and beating it. The pigments are the four traditional Ticuna colors: black from the dark juice of the genipapo fruit, red from achiote seeds, white from local clay, and yellow from earth and plant sources. The geometric patterning across the figure is not ornament. It is inherited — a visual language passed from artisan to apprentice across generations, each line carrying the meaning of the maker's clan and training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.85;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 24px\"\u003eAuthentic ceremonial art from the Colombian Amazon, hand-carved and painted by a single Ticuna artisan. Each piece is entirely unique. Display alone as a quiet sculptural moment, or grouped with other figures from the same arrival for a visual conversation between them. A piece for collectors of indigenous art, anthropologists of object and meaning, and interior designers seeking a statement that carries cultural depth rather than ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:1px;background:#EDE8DF;margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:11px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#2A1F14;margin:0 0 10px\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.9;color:#4A3828;margin:0\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12″ (30 cm) tall\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balsa wood, yanchama bark cloth, natural pigments\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003ePigments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genipapo fruit (black), achiote seeds (red), clay (white), earth pigments (yellow)\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted in the Colombian Amazon by Ticuna artisans\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eFigure Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monkey — mythological spirit figure (wears pants)\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of one · SKU DOLL-040\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:1px;background:#EDE8DF;margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.75;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003eSourced directly from Ticuna artisans in the Colombian Amazon — purchased at fair prices to support the continuation of this tradition and the families who carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/ticuna-figures-colombia\" style=\"color:#B85C38;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;text-decoration:none;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(184,92,56,0.35);padding-bottom:2px\"\u003eLearn about Ticuna ceremonial figures →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RFB Woven Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51218297127227,"sku":"DOLL-040","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/0069\/4587\/files\/DOLL-040-1.jpg?v=1781366111","url":"https:\/\/woven.art\/products\/climber-monkey-ticuna-ceremonial-spirit-doll","provider":"RFB Woven Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
