Arm Ornament 100 B.C.-A.D. 800 Calima-Yotoco Beginning in the last century before the Common Era, and continuing on until the ninth century, master metalsmiths in what is now southwestern Colombia created remarkable full-body regalia for powerful leaders to wear in life, and also in death. These included ear ornaments, headdress diadems, pectorals, and tweezer-like objects that are thought to have been worn suspended from a cord tied around the upper arm. Sometimes called brazeletes in Spanish, this impressive example boasts an embossed face, bilateral flanges, and a crescent-shaped blade at the base. The conventionalized visage rendered in high relief on this ornament, often called the Yotoco Face,” is characteristic of this period, and is also found on pectorals and diadems (see 1979.206.507). The face itself is adorned with other ornaments, including an H-shaped nose ornament—itself bearing a face rendered in low relief—and large, circular ear pendants. Yotoco (100 B.C. - A.D. 800)
