Avimorph pendants are among the most frequently found metal objects in the Diquís archaeological region. The inventoried figure seems to combine the attributes of various creatures (eagle, vulture, toucan). It resembles a bird of prey about to land. Its protruding eyes, the half-open beak and the claws spread out for gripping express a tense, aggressive posture. Although the wing and tail sections of the object are very flat, they have no additional ornamentation. The figure has a clearly bulging belly. (Künne 2005)
