It was found along with a butterfly form breastplate and two cuffs. The three artifacts are very similar to those that were worn by the principle individual of the tomb. Similar offerings, miniature gold mortuary ensembles, were found in tombs T2 and T3. These offerings formed the last stage of the funeral rite of the Coclé, yet they were always the first deposits that the archaeologists of El Caño found when excavating a tomb. With the...
