Sinú Ceremonial Gold Attire
This display reconstructs the ceremonial attire of a Sinú elite (500–1500), featuring a pectoral, nose ring, lip plug, bracelets, and genital cover, all cast in tumbaga. Beyond ornamentation, these objects marked social rank, spiritual power, and sacred transformation. The emphasis on bodily adornment in Sinú culture reflected a cosmology where gold linked humans to divine forces and ancestral realms.
