All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Ancient Panamanian 22K+ Gold Amphibian Amulet
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Panama. A gold amphibian amulet cast by the lost wax (cire perdue) process and testing at 92 percent gold, equivalent to 22 karats or higher. The slender creature has a pair of laterally protruding arms, a small head with four spiraling protrusions surrounding bulging eyes and lips, and a broad flattened foot extending from the leg base. Leaders of ancient societies in Central America wore gold ornaments to signify power and rank in both life and death, and the frog form is widely associated in the region with fertility, seasonal rains, and agricultural abundance.
