Muisca Gold Ceremonial Pectoral

110
This gold Muisca pectoral (1000–1500 AD) was worn during ceremonies to signal status and spiritual power. Its geometric headdress and stylized human form reflect ritual symbolism, with raised hands possibly indicating reverence or offering. Crafted from hammered gold, it exemplifies sacred adornment in Muisca cosmology.
