Diquís Gold Feline Pendant

255
This gold pendant features a central feline figure—symbol of power and the underworld—accompanied by two fantastical beings with beaked snouts and clawed limbs. The hybrid design (1000–1500) reflects the Diquís tradition of shamanic transformation and the fusion of predator, bird, and spirit forms.
