Crocodile Pendant

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gold pendant in the shape of a crocodile. The pendant is composed of a cylindrical body made of gold with a large, rounded green stone at the bottom. The top of the pendant features a gold crocodile head with a long snout and two small eyes. Two gold arms extend from the sides of the pendant, each holding a small rectangular gold tag. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The pendant appears to be an example of pre-Columbian goldwork, likely created by the Sinu people of Colombia.
