Original Message:   Jimmy Durante bird...

Pre-Columbian gold winged nose-piece (#4764). Wings for the fashionable proboscis. Or a flying nose bird! I cannot reach my notes at the moment, but it is from the general area of pre-Spanish contact gold working cultures in upper Columbia, about 7 inches across! Also from the Tairona culture in the same general vicinity, is a bead or pendant (#3345) also in gold depicting what appears to be birds on each side, about 35 mm across.
