O soše
Figural Pendant, dated 1–800 CE and originating in Colombia's Tolima region, is at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Among the larger examples of its type, it belongs to ornaments worn around the neck by chiefs and other high-ranking people. Such abstract figures appear rooted in the human body but also borrow animal characteristics. A divided upturned tail can suggest a serpent, while large angled projections from the head may resemble ears or insect feelers. On view in gallery 233.
Slovy muzea
Colombia's Tolima region is justly famous for arrestingly abstracted figures like this one, among the largest of its kind. Such figures, worn as necklace pendants by chiefs and other elites, seem to be based on the human form. But they also incorporate animal features, often an upturned, bifurcated tail sometimes compared to that of a serpent and large, angled head appendages that may refer to animal ears or even insect antennae.
