Diquís Composite Animal with Maize

This gold figure (1000–1150) from Costa Rica’s southern Pacific region blends traits from multiple animals: deer antlers, feline ears, bulging eyes, a lizard-like body, and marine flippers. A smaller creature clings to its back, while a maize cob protrudes from its mouth—symbolizing fertility and the interdependence of land, water, and spirit realms.
