Diquís Shamanic Gold Pendants

110
The large pendant shows a shaman (700–1500) wearing an animal mask and wide headdress, likely invoking spiritual transformation. The dark inlay suggests ritual significance. Flanking pendants depict stylized animal or hybrid beings, reinforcing themes of power, metamorphosis, and connection between human and supernatural realms in Diquís belief.
