Object description

Hängsmycke av metallegering (tumbaga) i form av alligator, 6 cm längd, vikt 13,5 gram. Ring för upphängningstråd under höger framben. Vänstra frambenet avbrutet vid kroppen och saknas. För vetenskaplig diskussion om material, metalltekniken etc.

se S.K. Lothrop: Archaeology of Southern Veraguas, Panama" (Cambridge, Mass., 1950), p. 49 o.följ., för "Crodile Pendants" spec. p. 63 o. följ. Typiskt för alligatorframställningarna (ofta svåra att skilja från jaguar-dito) är upphöjningarna på ryggen. I tvistiga fall har Lothrop detta låtit bli avgörande för klassifiering som "crocodile pendants".

Köp från: dito gm H. Wassén i Panamá 27.6.55. (katalogkort/originalbeskrivning)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
