Anthropomorphic Figurine
Not on view
Several small gold objects from as far south as Panama were found in the Sacred Cenote. Pendants in the form of standing males are Coclé in style, and the object with a fan-shaped lower portion may have been made in what is now Costa Rica, although its stylistic roots are firmly in northern South America; it is in the Darién style, named after the region of dense jungle between Colombia and Panama.
El Cenote Sagrado contenía varios pendientes en forma de hombres erguidos en el estilo coclé (Panamá). El pendiente con la parte inferior en forma de abanico puede haber sido elaborado en lo que hoy es Costa Rica. Sin embargo, el linaje estilístico de este pendiente proviene claramente del norte de América del Sur. Es de estilo Darién, así llamado por la región de densa jungla entre Colombia y Panamá.
