WHAT DO I HAVE
I need dome help identifying these artifacts. I obtain them from a friend who spent 6 years of his military career station in Panama, where he spent a lot of his free time digging. Upon his death his wife sold a lot of his artifacts and what I have is just the ruminant of his once large collection
There is 14 pieces of pottery three cold and one large turquoise jade and coral six strand harness I believe it might be the harness of a feathered headgear and he dug several. Two vessels that rattle when shaken.
A clay rattler and clay whistle. A gold frog, nose ring and bell. Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated and I can send more pictures?

Your frog appears to be from Diquis, Veraguas, Chiriqui, Panama
A.D. 700 - 1500. (I'll keep checking.)
similar to this one: http://fineart.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=643&lotNo=47087
Don.....
PS: The gold 'ring' may be a nose septum piece from the same area (Veragua) as shown on this site: (scroll down to 'ornamental objects') http://www.precolumbiangold.com/cocle.htm
Scrolling down further on that later site will bring you to ornamental bells; somewhat similar to yours.

Thanks, appreciate the information
 

Looks like the frog has similar solder attachment as my figure does.
