Chiriquí Earrings

In pre-Columbian Central America, gold played a pivotal role in the Chiriquí's understanding of the universe. To connect with gods, they adorned themselves for ceremonies with golden objects that reflected the sun, metaphorically allowing them to become a direct channel to the realm above.
