Gold 006

Description

Gold Mythic Eagle

Unique charms, such as this gold mythic eagle were esoterically charged amulets. A power symbol, makes for a special gift for both men and women. Presented on a silky black cord and worn as a pendant or necklace, the piece will be greatly appreciated by the recipient; he or she may believe it holds special powers of old.

Made using the same ancient technique that the original, pre-Columbian goldsmiths employed – lost wax casting –  fine cast gold charms, or amulets, were worn by personages of rank when these societies were flourishing mostly in the southern Pacific coast region of present-day Costa Rica.

Symbols such as this amulet reflected an inherited rank and position and became the very objects of desire that inspired the first European explorers.  These replicated pieces are 24 gold plated made by a master goldsmith with great attention to detail drawn from the original works as seen in the Gold Museum in San Jose, Costa Rica.
