Gold Miniature Figures

These Muisca gold figures (1100–1500 AD) served as pendants. They depict stylized human forms, possibly ancestors or spirits, highlighting gold's sacred role in pre-Hispanic spiritual and social life. Crafted using the lost-wax technique, where a wax model is replaced by molten metal, these figures exemplify the advanced metallurgical skills of the Muisca civilization.
