In the Colombian Tayrona era, birds symbolized the upper world; they were creatures of a higher plane. Society was viewed by Amerindian peoples as being united with nature. People, animals, plants and spirits together formed a great cosmic society where relations were all identical to those of humans. 

Pre-Columbian peoples expressed the gestures, postures and links with superior beings by wearing double bird pectorals such as this.
