Tumbaga-Style Pre-Columbian Figural Pendant

This item is a decorative yellow-gold-toned pendant, measuring approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in width, crafted in a style reminiscent of Pre-Columbian goldsmithing from Central or South America (such as the Diquis or Malagana cultures). The piece features a central anthropomorphic figure with stylized bird-like or simian features, characterized by large spiral ears or headdress elements and outstretched hands. The figure is enclosed within a rectangular frame defined by top and bottom flat bars with braided 'rope' borders. Flanking the central figure are symmetrical wirework spirals. A distinctive ring is suspended from the figure's nose or mouth area, suggesting a labret or nose ornament. The material appears to be either a high-karat gold wash or a tumbaga alloy (gold and copper), displaying a rich, slightly matte yellow luster. The construction shows signs of lost-wax casting, indicated by the integrated decorative spirals and textured surfaces. Condition-wise, the item exhibits minor surface abrasions, soft edge wear, and a gentle patina consistent with a 20th-century reproduction or a well-preserved ethnographic artifact. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front surface.
