My father-in-law was raised in Panama in a
military family. He
still goes there all the time, and has this pre-columbian
amulet.
From my understanding, it would have been worn as jewelery. He also has some
pottery, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on this piece.
I really haven't been able to find much information. It most likely is due to my total lack of knowledge in this
area.
Thanks!
