Fish Ornament and Hook
A small gold fish with incised fins lies beside a simple curved hook. Both pieces in tumbaga (gold–copper alloy) (500–1500) combine ornament and reference to fishing, a key activity in ancient Colombian societies. Their precious material and miniature scale indicate use as offerings or status items, linking everyday subsistence to ritual prestige.
