Commentary:  URL address of the article "The golden armor of a Coclé cacique chief: The golden breastplates of the mortuary ensemble of the main individual of the Tomb 2 of the necropolis of El Caño (900-1020 A. D.)". This article presents a descriptive analysis and an approximation to the iconographic interpretation of the four gold breastplates that accompanied one of the chieftains in the tomb who, judging by the ritual of his burial and the richness of his mortuary ensemble, is the individual of more status in the excavated tombs. The embossed designs on the breastplates belong to the metallurgical group called in the area, Conte Style (450-1100 AD).The four are frontal representations of supernatural beings whose main metaphorical base seems to be the crocodile and speak of a shared belief system in the area whose roots sink into the great cosmological traditions of pre-Hispanic America.
