This hammered gold sheet figure with raised arms (500–1600) shows a frontal body with large head, spiral ornaments, and stylized limbs. Objects of this type from the Chocó region likely served in ritual contexts, possibly worn or displayed. The combination of human features and abstract motifs demonstrates ideas of sacred transformation linked to fertility, power, and cosmic order.
