Sounding Pectoral Ornament

107
This gold pectoral from the Calima culture (200 BC–600 AD) blends luminous design with auditory power. The suspended dangles created sound during movement, invoking divine presence in ritual. Its crescents and spirals suggest lunar and fertility symbolism, reinforcing the shaman’s cosmic role.
