| This 2 5/8” tall, simply decorated, spread eagle pendant (TF97.148) is from the Veraguas horizon of Panama dating c.500-1200AD. Identified as a harpy eagle, and usually associated with shamanic transformation, this striking wearable pendant was lost wax cast with gold that tests out at about 14K. In overall very good condition, one of the wings has some incipient cracking caused by light bending of the crystallized gold. There does not appear to be any danger of breakage unless a heavy weight or stiff clout is placed on the wing (a light coating of clear epoxy will serve to adequately strengthen the wing in order for the pendant to be worn). With a glorious bright color, this 32-gram piece would offer a great accent to any collection of ancient jewelry or Precolumbian art. It comes with a small display card, a map of Panama with the Veraguas area pinpointed, and a certificate guaranteeing authenticity. | |||||
