Figure, small, in the shape of a woman
The small unclothed figure of a woman is an offering, a votive figure, of the Inca. Such figurines were placed as offerings on sacrificial altars or in nature at sacred places. Originally, these figurines wore clothes. The hands of the woman show the prayer posture, which for the Incas is described as "hands outstretched, palms up".
