This hollow gold figurine depicts a musician playing a wind instrument, with spiral ear ornaments and facial markings suggesting ritual or status. Though discovered in Costa Rica’s Caribbean region, its form and technique reflect Quimbaya traditions from Colombia (300–700), highlighting pre-Columbian cultural exchange across the Isthmus.
