Cicada
The zoomorphic figure was designed to be largely realistic. The slightly raised wings of the cicada possibly indicate the noisy rubbing sounds that the insect produces before dusk. Despite its formal similarity to the objects of the Veraguas-Chiriquí group, the figure has special technical and design features that point to the early Zenú group (100-1000d.C.) of north-western Colombia. These include, above all, the pod-shaped object body, the emphasis on the body's rim and the zoomorphic theme (cf. Falchetti 1985: 54f.; 2000: 132-51). (Künne 2005)
