Diquís Avian Pendant with Spread Wings
This striking gold pendant (700–1550) from southern Costa Rica represents a stylized bird with exaggerated wings and a geometric headdress. Birds symbolized flight between earthly and spiritual realms. Such pendants projected elite status and invoked the animal’s power as a messenger, protector, and guide between worlds.
