Product Details

An extraordinary museum-style pendant/brooch inspired by the legendary goldwork of the Tairona (Tayrona) civilization of ancient Colombia. This impressive dual-purpose piece faithfully captures the bold symbolism and intricate artistry of pre-Columbian ceremonial jewelry, featuring a commanding anthropomorphic figure with an elaborate spiral headdress, sweeping wing-like elements, articulated dangling discs, and a sculptural openwork body. Designed to be worn as either a striking pendant or an impressive brooch, the piece is finished in a rich matte gold tone that beautifully echoes the appearance of ancient tumbaga gold artifacts. The articulated discs create subtle movement, just as they did on ceremonial originals over 500 years ago. Museum reproductions of Tairona treasures have long been sought after by collectors of ethnographic jewelry, archaeological reproductions, and wearable art.
