Diquís Openwork Gold Rattle

This intricately cast gold rattle (700–1550 AD) features a lattice design with cross-shaped cutouts, allowing sound to resonate from within. Likely used in ritual contexts, it symbolized communication with spiritual realms. The craftsmanship reflects the Diquís culture’s fusion of sound, symbolism, and metallurgy in ceremonial expression.
