PreColumbian Master; Panama Gold
Note: Object Description
A: Gold ear spool with two circular ends and a central connecting tube. Both ends have a convex circle where the tube meets the circular spool ends. The outer (visible) tube appears to be connected to the interior circle of one side and the other side continues into an inner tube that fits into the exterior tube, allowing the removal of that side of the spool. Each exterior circular sheathing is simply folded over the edges. 13.1g
Note: Owner Accession
Central America, Panama, Coclé Province, Penonomé District, Coclé. Excavated by Eva and Neville Harte. Presented by Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Sackler
Note: Research Notes
(transferred to MCI for analysis July 2009)
Note: Condition Review
Good condition. Unclear if there was originally another material as substrate but there is nothing currently remaining. There is a tear along the edge of the circular spool on the side that isn't numbered. There is also a clear resin coating near the join of the tube with the other tube. There is also some distortion and folding of the metal on the side of the spool with the tear.
Note: Follow-up Notes
Special: X-adiography would be useful
