content: Two trapezoidal pendants, joined together by two chains attached to the top of each pendant. Pendants have filigree work, florettes, and Christian crosses. One has letter "M" and the other has "JHS". According to Robert Laughlin, curator of Central American ethnology, this would be worn at carnival by a woman dancer (la follera). Women danced, challenging the male dancer (el montuno), shaking her long skirts at him. Possibly worn by Kuna Indians in the interior of Panama.
