EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - the Diquis culture alligator pendant. Crafted between 700-1550, this exquisite gold pendant is a testament to the skill and creativity of the Costa Rican School. The intricate details of this pendant are truly awe-inspiring. The sharp teeth, meticulously carved scales, and fierce expression capture the essence of this formidable predator. It serves as a reminder of the power and strength possessed by these creatures in their natural habitat. Intriguingly, this artwork also depicts an act that lies at the heart of nature's cycle - predation. The alligator is shown devouring its prey with great intensity, showcasing its role as both hunter and killer. This symbolism reflects not only the survival instincts ingrained in wildlife but also highlights humanity's fascination with capturing such moments through art. As we admire this stunning pendant, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse into Costa Rica's rich cultural heritage - specifically that of the Diquis people who created it. Their craftsmanship has endured for centuries, leaving behind artifacts that continue to captivate our imaginations today. Through Dirk Bakker's expert photography skills, every intricate detail shines through in this photo print. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also understand how deeply intertwined art can be with history and culture.
