Description |
The jewelry object is a red and white beaded collar, called a "Chagurra". The necklace consists of a red background and white triangles. It was made by the Ngabe-Bugle (Gyami) indigenous people of Panama.The most numerous indigenous people in Panama are the Ngäbe (comprising over 60 per cent of the indigenous population) and are closely affiliated with a small group known as Buglé. Both communities were previously referred to as Guaymi, although this is considered outdated. Ngäbe-Buglé traditionally live in the western provinces of Bocas del Toro, Veraguas and Chiriquí. However, many Ngäbe-Buglé have migrated to other parts of Panama in search of employment. Description Modified: 9/2/2020 |
