Avimorph pendants are among the most frequently found metal objects in the Diquís archaeological region. The inventoried figure seems to represent a colbri-like creature. The V-shaped wings and the long pointed beak clearly point to the small nectar-sucking bird. Despite belonging to the Veraguas-Chiriquí group, the pendant has several special technical and design features. These include the object's structure on a large, continuous clay core, the white-yellowish gold lustre, the solidity of the material, the lack of head decoration, the unusual position of the eyes, the recessed neck, the curved, continuous torso, the wing-standing decorations, the recessed legs and feet and the lack of a flat tail section.
