Description :   Necklace of gold beads. It was probably made with wooden beads that have now disappeared. From it, only the gold covers used to line them are preserved (68 covers). The beads represent feathers. The serrated part represents the feather (soft barbs at the base of the feathers), while the elongated part represents the vane. Similar necklaces made with shell beads have been found in the tombs of Playa Venado and Panamá Viejo. Julia Mayo excavated a workshop of feather type shell beads at Sitio Cerro Juan Díaz in Los Santos in 2001.
