This pendant, created by the Tiwanaku culture of the Andes, dates back to possibly 400 - 800 AD. It features a figure with a distinct headdress and a vibrant, colorful array of materials. Constructed from copper, shell, and other materials, the pendant is a testament to the Tiwanaku's skill in metalworking and craftsmanship, as well as the importance of symbolic figures in their culture. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this intricate piece, a valuable artifact for understanding the rich cultural heritage of the Tiwanaku civilization.
