Striking, ostentatious objects made in the Yotoco period represent one aspect, perhaps the best-known, of the metalwork style of the Calima region. They are principally pectorals, ear ornaments and diadems with a characteristic hieratic face as the central motif, adorned with large nose and ear ornaments.
