Diquís Gold Pendant with Dangling Ornaments

This cast gold pendant (13th–16th cc.) shows a central human figure framed by openwork lattice and multiple dangling plaques. Such ornaments from the Diquís culture were worn by high-status individuals in life and burial. The combination of human imagery and mobile elements demonstrates how sound and shine enhanced displays of rank and spiritual power.
