Kokre Culture - Kokre Culture
A pre-Hispanic culture in Panama. It flourished from the Azuero Peninsula to Playa del Venado between 500 and 900 AD, and is characterized by white polychrome pottery and an abundance of gold products. An important site of this culture, Sitio Conte in the Coclé region, has been discovered, which includes a stone colonnade about 2 meters high, a mound of earth, and a stone coffin tomb. Many of the stone pillars are carved with human figures or gods. This culture is famous for its colorful gold products. Using techniques such as hammering, welding, alloying, forging, wax molding, and a type of plating using acid, they created earrings, nose ornaments, arm ornaments, pendants, crowns, vessels, and other items decorated with motifs of people, gods, animals, and other motifs.
