Tairona Winged Pendant Figure
This Tairona gold pendant (900–1600 AD) from Colombia depicts a human figure with stylized wings and a headdress, likely representing a shaman in transformation. Made with the lost-wax method, it demonstrates the technical mastery of Tairona metalworkers. Such pendants were worn in ritual contexts as emblems of authority, power, and spiritual protection.
