Amulet of silver, a small figure of man with hinged hands.
Initially, Bovallius has written that this amulet was acquired in Costa Rica and Talamanca, but subsequently he has changed it to Nicaragua and Ometepe.
See cartoon depiction in Bovallius Resa II, Fig 101, p 365.
Bovallius writes, p. 368: "At two af de anstälda grfningen the small metal statuettes were found, which are formed fig 99 and 101. They were naturally derived not from the same culture as the clay vessels, the old Niquirans, but from an earlier or later period of the Spanish era. However, it is not possible, particularly in the case of the amulet, fig 101, that it is pre-finished Avian workers in Nicaragua or another part of it
