MP207 A fine Mayan jade pendant in a stunning and choice spinach green material holding a high polish. The face carved with a bold Maya chieftain with round nose, down turned mouth, wide eyes and surrounded with a tall plume headdress, ear flares to sides, and bib under chin. A highly polished and worn carving, the piece has ancient breaks to all sides and would have come from a larger carving. As has been frequently found, jade idols and pendants were sometimes broken to extract a smaller piece to be used differently or given parts of the important jade to others as offerings. The pendant here appears to have begun as a celt shape, the backside with a thicker formed middle tapering at the bottom and becoming much thinner and allows for the stone to teeter and spin on a flat surface. Possibly a shamanistic 'charm stone'. 2 1/4 inches tall, over 1 1/2 inches wide. Guatemala, c. 600-900 A.D. $2,200.00 |
