Diquís Embossed Gold Disk with Crocodiles

This ceremonial gold disk (700–1550) features three raised bosses surrounded by dotted borders and stylized crocodiles. In Diquís belief, crocodiles symbolized strength, fertility, and control over watery realms. As a pectoral, the disk blended cosmic and animal motifs to express elite power and sacred protection in ritual contexts.
