Avimorph pendants are among the most frequently found metal objects in the archaeological region of Gran Nicoya. The inventoried figure appears to combine the attributes of various creatures (eagle, vulture, toucan, hummingbird, bat). Although the headdress and the tail sections of the object are very flat, they have no additional decoration. The figure's head and body merge seamlessly into one another. Despite its formal similarity to the objects of the Veraguas-Chiriquí group, the figure has several special technical and design features. These include the production in hearth moulding, the two-part tail, the limited use of the wax thread technique, the position of the inlets, the small size of the figure, the closed beak, the reduction of the depicted creature to a few attributes and the opposing bars that attach to the body. The elements listed seem to indicate limited material resources and limited technical skills on the part of the maker. (Künne 2005)
