Diquís Lizard-Masked Ritual Pendant
This Diquís gold pendant (700–1550) shows a human figure wearing a reptilian mask, gripping cords attached to the mouth. The act of drawing blood from soft tissues symbolized sacrifice and transformation. Such imagery reflects the spiritual power linked to pain, trance, and connection with animal spirits.
