Description:

Mayan Territories, ca. 200-800 CE. These finely carved jadeite beads ranging in hue from apple green to earthy, amber make for a handsome ensemble. As was custom for Mayan artisans, the natural shape of the stones was used as inspiration for iconography. Two of the pendants features relief carvings, one depicting a hybrid visage of a human fist and face, the other an unfinished zoomorphic/anthropomorphic creature. All the beads are polished to a pleasing luster and contain lateral perforations for suspension. Largest bead 1 3/4"L x 1 1/2"W.
