This gold pectoral (200 BC–600 AD) portrays a standing shaman figure adorned with a prominent nose ring and ear ornaments. Worn in ceremonial contexts, the piece reflects the sacred role of shamans as intermediaries between human and spiritual realms. The wide flared base suggests radiance and divine authority emanating from the figure.
