- COSTA RICAN GOLD PENDANT, JANIFORM CROCODILIAN**First
COSTA RICAN GOLD PENDANT, JANIFORM CROCODILIAN**First Time At Auction**
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, Chiriqui or Diquis culture, ca. 13th to 16th century CE. A dazzling pendant depicting the form of a double-headed zoomorph with 2 crocodilian heads, 4 extended fins, and 4 pointed ears each with a dangling trophy head. Chomping down on the body of a monkey, each head presents a tapered snout, bulbous eyes containing petite balls to serve as bell clappers, and a central channel of woven motif that travels vertically down the body from nose to nose. Four loops on the underside would have allowed this opulent ornament to be worn with the danglers and clappers transforming it into a sonorous accessory. The lustrous patina that envelops the accessory create a glinting presentation. Size: 2.6" L x 2.4" W x 1.3" H (6.6 cm x 6.1 cm x 3.3 cm); metal quality: 70.3% gold (equivalent to over 16 karat), 21% copper, 6% silver; weight: 72.6 grams
Composite creatures, like this double-headed crocodile, occur throughout Costa Rica and Panama, signaling that beliefs and their expressions were shared by many groups. Crocodilian imagery and adornment also appear frequently in gold pendants from Costa Rica and Panama. Depictions of predatory animals are common; crocodiles, felines, bats, sharks, and spiders appear in various guises, many anthropomorphized, and many with bared teeth showing. It is believed that the ability of such creatures to cause harm also engendered their capacity to inspire religious awe and respect.
