This necklace was my absolute favorite. Check out the gold frogs and all those beautiful stones. I could go for a necklace like this. The sophistication of these early people is astounding. Here's what Wikipedia says about the Tairona Indians.

"The Tairona civilization is most renowned for its distinctive goldwork. The earliest known Tairona goldwork has been described for the Neguanje Period (from about 300 to 800 CE). Its use in the Tairona society appears to have extended beyond the elite, although little proof of this exists. The gold artifacts consist of pendants, lip-plugs, nose ornaments, necklaces, and earrings. Gold cast Tairona figure pendants (known as "caciques") in particular stand out among the goldworks of pre-Columbian America because of their richness in detail. The figurines depict human subjects – thought to be noblemen or chiefs - in ornate dresses and with a large animal mask over the face. Many elements of their body posture (e.g., hands on their hips) and dress signal an aggressive stance and hence are interpreted by some as evidence for the power of the wearer and the bellicose nature of Tairona society at that time."
