Small but characterful Ta\u00edno amulet from the Caribbean, carved from bone and with a calm, convincing appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This small Ta\u00edno object suggests Yucahu<\/strong> for, the deity who was worshipped as protector of agriculture and livelihood. Due to its compact size and personal scale, it is plausible that this type of object was used as a amulet or protective item<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The simplified forms and balanced, seated pose give the object an understated strength. The surface shows a warm, time-softened patina with natural colour variations in the bone.<\/p>\n

The amulet comes from the Collection of Jozef and Brunhilde Steib<\/strong> and was acquired as early as the early 1960s. The early European collection and clear provenance make this an attractive and well-documented Ta\u00edno object.<\/p>\n

Origin & meaning
\n<\/strong>The provenance of this object is documented before 1970, in accordance with the international guidelines of UNESCO and UNIDROIT. It was acquired by the Steib collection as early as the 1960s, well before modern regulations concerning cultural property. The Vergulde Kat exclusively deals in objects with a demonstrable and transparent provenance.<\/p>\n

Within Ta\u00edno culture, small figures and amulets were associated with spiritual protection, prosperity and continuity of life. The representation of Yucahu underlines this protective and nurturing function.<\/p>\n
