Avimorph pendants are among the most frequently found metal objects in the Diquís archaeological region. The inventoried figure appears to combine the attributes of various creatures (eagle, vulture, toucan, papagay, bat). Its angled wings indicate a seated posture. The production technique (position of the inlets), shape (wing tips and design), colour (light gold tone) and decoration (winged decoration) clearly distinguish the object from the figures of the Veraguas-Chiriquí group. The head and wing decorations frequently occur as rock engravings in the Gran Coclé region (Panamá). (Künne 2005)
