Diquís Shaman Pendant
This intricate gold pendant (700–1550 AD) from the Diquís culture depicts a shaman wearing an animal mask, surrounded by smaller figures and serpentine borders. The central figure likely represents a ritual transformation, where the shaman merges with spirit beings to access supernatural realms. Such imagery highlights the shaman’s mediating role between humans and cosmic forces.
