介绍（中）	众所周知，这种大致形状的石头来自从墨西哥南部到委内瑞拉以及南美洲和加勒比的安的列斯群岛的地区。然而，它们最集中的地区是哥伦比亚西北部的泰罗纳地区。泰罗纳遗址出土了大量精雕细琢的石器。它们通常被发现于埋在房屋地板下的器皿中或仪式建筑中的储藏室中，通常由有吸引力的石块雕刻而成。石器包括珠子；用一块石头雕刻而成的轴状斧头；权杖或权杖；以及在中心有两个孔或一个悬管的细长条形吊坠，比如这里所示的物品，它们似乎是一组仪式文物这些物体的横向延伸可能代表蝙蝠风格化的展开翅膀。在现在的Kogi和Ica中，Tairona的直系后裔，宗教专家和高地位的人也使用类似的物品。科吉人将这些物体称为"máxalda"，并将其用作拨浪鼓或叮当声。牌匾成对悬挂在舞者的肘部，在相互撞击时会发出声音。泰罗纳人是否以同样的方式使用带翅膀的石头吊坠尚不清楚。也许使用了木制版本，而那些石头版本则埋在了地下室里。
介绍（英）	Stone objects of this general shape are known to have come from an area stretching from southern Mexico to Venezuela and the Antilles in South America and the Caribbean. Their greatest concentration, however, is in the Tairona region of northwestern Colombia. Large numbers of finely crafted stone objects were excavated at Tairona sites. Usually found in caches buried in vessels under house floors or those of ceremonial structures, they are often carved of attractive pieces of stone. The stone objects include beads; axes in hafted shape carved from a single piece of stone; scepters or staffs; and thin, bar-shaped pendants with two holes or a suspension tube at the center such as the objects illustrated here, which seem to be sets of ritual artifacts. The lateral extensions of these objects may represent stylized spread wings of bats. Among the present-day Kogi and Ica, direct descendants of the Tairona, similar objects are used by religious specialists and men of high status. The Kogi call the objects máxalda and use them as rattles or tinklers. Suspended in pairs from the elbows of dancers, the plaques produce sounds when striking each other. Whether the Tairona used the winged stone pendants in the same fashion is not known. Perhaps wooden versions were used and those of stone were buried in caches.
