Description:
LA ARMADURA DORADA DE UN CACIQUE COCLÉ: LOS PECTORALES DE ORO DEL AJUAR DEL INDIVIDUO PRINCIPAL DE LA TUMBA 2 DE LA NECRÓPOLIS DE EL CAÑO (900-1020 d. C.)

Summary: The recent discovery and excavation (2009) of a funerary complex at El Caño in the Panamanian region of Gran Coclé sheds new light on the archaeology of the Isthmus. This article presents the descriptive analysis and an approximation to the iconographic interpretation of the four golden pectorals that accompanied one of the chiefs in the tomb who, judging by the ritual of his burial and the richness of his trousseau, is the individual with the most status in the excavated tombs.
