This pair of pendants, crafted by the Coclé culture of Panama between 800 and 1200, showcases intricate goldwork. Each pendant features a mythical saurian with tusks, a recurring motif in Coclé art. The saurians, crafted in hammered gold with delicate details, perch atop polished tusks, likely from a peccary. This exquisite example of Pre-Columbian goldsmithing highlights the technical prowess and cultural significance of the Coclé people.
