## A Flat Gold Figure

The Met holds a Tolima costumed figure pendant of gold, dated between the 1st and 7th centuries. It is almost flat and has sharp, symmetrical outlines.

It has a squarish face and large loopy ears. Openwork below the splayed arms may show feathers or a feathered costume.

## Meant for the Neck

Such figures were meant to be worn around the neck. Your abstract human figure pendant continues that use.

## Balance and Symmetry

The simple angular form stresses balance. Many see it as a link between humans and the divine.

## Wearing and Display

Wear the Tolima figure pendant on its 22 in chain. It falls below the collarbone. Wipe with a soft cloth.
