Diquís Bat Pendant with Bird-Headed Wings
This gold pendant from the southern Pacific region of Costa Rica (700–1550 AD) depicts a bat-like figure with prominent male genitals and outstretched wings terminating in stylized bird heads. The fusion of species symbolizes transformation and spiritual power. Bats, linked to night and fertility, were powerful beings in Diquís cosmology.
