Shaman–Bat Transformation Pendant
This gold pendant (500–1600 AD) from the Chocó region of Colombia depicts a shaman in transformation, merging human and bat-like traits. Through ritual regalia—headdress, mask, and winged limbs—it embodies a spiritual metamorphosis, central to indigenous cosmology linking animal power, healing, and divine vision.
