Wholesale Pre-Columbian Bird 24k Gold Plated Dangle Earrings

These earrings feature a pre-Columbian pectoral depicting a man-bird figure within a half-moon, holding two small mythical creatures. A remarkable showcase of the imaginative artistry of ancient goldsmiths. In the goldwork of the Cauca region, birds were more than natural creatures. These figures depict the shaman mid-transformation, caught between human and avian form as he journeys to the spirit world. The ability to fly represented access to sacred knowledge and the power to mediate between the living and the divine.
