A representation of a feline on the alert, with all its muscles tensed, this pendant brings together some of the most characteristic features of the Zenú metalwork style. It is made from gold cast by the lost-wax process, and produces an impression of realism through a synthesis of symbolically significant naturalistic and geometric elements.
