La balsa de la ofrenda
The object known as the Muisca raft is, technically speaking, a votive figure (vote, offering) in the form of a raft with characters. It constitutes an exceptional piece because it has traditionally been interpreted as the representation of the inauguration ceremony of the chief of the town of Guatavita: the Eldorado ceremony.
'La Balsa Muisca' referring to the legend of El Dorado, a pre-Columbian piece, in the Gold Museum of Bogotá.
The Muisca raft is the main piece in the Offering Boat Room.
