Quimbaya artifacts (also known as pre-Columbian planes, formerly called Pájaros de Otún) are gold and bronze figures typical of the Quimbaya culture that date from around 1000 AD. C., found in Colombia. Some have been classified as ooparts, because although archaeologists believe they represent animals, others say they look more like modern airplanes that did not exist at that time. These objects are interpreted as zoomorphic figures of birds, insects or fish, of rivers or from the sea, despite the distance from the sea of the area where they lived, they had contact with the rest of the populations in the area. The one presented in the attached photo has a great resemblance to flying fish, perhaps the swallow fish or the Flying Gunard, marine fish present in the waters of Colombia, which were simply represented by the Quimbayas for religious reasons, as were the beetles in ancient times. Egypt. Some figures also have a head almost identical to that of the crocodile, such as those that live in Colombian rivers and marshes, but their other characteristics, such as a short upward-facing tail or flat legs, prove that they have combined features of many animals. and for this reason the species represented by the quimbayas has not been determined despite the many similarities they have with marine fish. One interpretation is that they have been created as "toys", since at the bottom they have small rectangular handles to be able to hold them.
