Nose Ornament A.D. 1-1000 Zenú This object, like Metropolitan Museum of Art 2002.322.5, is a metal nose ornament that was fabricated by Zenú people, who lived and live today in the Caribbean Lowlands of Colombia. It consists of gold or likely a gold-copper alloy. Zenú metalworkers fabricated it primarily by lost-wax casting. (For more information on this process, please see 2008.569.13a, b). The object consists of a curved bar with a circular cross-section, with two capped ends. Zenú ceramic figurines show people wearing such an ornament with the two ends pointing downward, in at least three cases by passing the ornament through the septum of the nose (Museo del Oro, Bogotá CS4272, CS4197, CS4195) and in at least one case apparently by balancing the ornament over the nose (Museo del Oro, Bogotá CS4270). Falchetti (1976, 81) notes that a ceramic funerary urn from the area of the Tapias River shows a person wearing a similar nose ornament, but with the opening turning to one side.” Othe
