Ceremonial Pectoral with Face and Earspools
This gold pectoral from the Tairona culture (900–1600) shows a human face with massive earspools and a complex nose ornament. Heart-shaped wings frame the figure, edged with finely incised geometric patterns. Such regalia likely belonged to high-ranking ritual specialists, turning the wearer into a visible axis between ancestors, deities, and the community.
