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).

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.
