Wholesale Pre-Columbian Swirls Flying Fish Colombian Emerald Pin

This lapel pin is part of our Quimbaya Flyers Reproductions Collection, now accented with a natural Colombian emerald. A piece that bridges archaeology and pop culture. Some of the original figures have been featured by Giorgio Tsoukalos on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens show, becoming iconic collectible pieces among his more than half a million followers who believe pre-Columbian cultures had contact with advanced civilizations. The Quimbaya flying fish figures are among the most debated objects in pre-Columbian archaeology. Museum curators classify them as stylized fish or insects, their aerodynamic form and upswept wings defying easy explanation. These small gold figures have fascinated scholars and "believers" for decades, each one carrying an ambiguity that no consensus has fully resolved. • 24k Gold-Plated Base • Pre-Columbian Culture: Quimbaya • Pre-Columbian Region: Mid Cauca, Colombia • Handcrafted • Clean with a damp cloth and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
