Pectoral with Face and Ornamental Discs
This elaborate Tairona pectoral (900–1600 AD) depicts a human face adorned with large earspools and a decorative nose pendant, framed by twin crescent forms engraved with sacred motifs. Likely worn by a chief or priest, it conveyed divine authority and ancestral power during ceremonial rituals in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
