Among the Ticuna people of the Colombian Amazon, the deer is also a clan animal — a representative of an extended family, a line of inheritance, a thread of belonging that has held across centuries. The Ticuna mark clan animals in their carved figures by dressing them in skirts, the visual code for old age and wisdom. This deer wears a skirt. It is meant to be read as an elder, a carrier of memory, a presence that has stood watch. To bring it into a room is to bring something quietly ancestral — a watchful stillness drawn from the forest itself.\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\"\u003eThe 16-inch deer figures are the standout pieces of this Ticuna arrival, with the scale and presence to serve as a focal point in a styled space. Hand-carved and painted by a single artisan, each is unique. A statement collector piece for those who want a single work of indigenous art to hold the center of a room.\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 16″ (40 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\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eClan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deer — elder clan figure (wears skirt)\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of one · SKU DOLL-053\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":51218298011963,"sku":"DOLL-053","price":385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/0069\/4587\/files\/DOLL-053-1_c7a410a2-c1f5-4294-8e2b-0f8b6e0dd651.jpg?v=1781366070","url":"https:\/\/woven.art\/products\/matriarch-deer-ticuna-ceremonial-spirit-doll","provider":"RFB Woven Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
