Stone (1958) shows a similar nose clip found in the Costa Rican La Unión (Línea Vieja). In addition to relatively unadorned objects, conical nose clips are also known that are richly decorated (see e.g. Jones and King 2002: 39). Hearne and Sharer (1992: pl. 48-51) illustrate four comparable objects from grave 11 of the Conte site (450-900d.C.). Social significance: Spanish chronicles report that nose rings were widespread in the Gran Coclé region (Panamá) in the 16th century. They probably had no class or gender-specific connotations (Hearne and Sharer 1992: 114). Wafer mentions that the nose jewellery was removed during meals (1934: 86). Symbolic meaning: the mythological content of most metal objects is difficult to interpret as their archaeological and ethnographic contexts have been lost. Falchetti (2000) reports that the modern Zenú from San Andrés de Sotavento (Colombia) put on nose clips for weddings. (Künne 2005)
