Pre-Columbian, Maya Territories, Classic Maya, ca. 300 to 900 CE. A fantastic collection of fourteen Mayan stone beads, strung on a modern oxidized sterling silver chain of gun-metal hues. Five of the stones are oblong in shape, four of which exhibit a chalky-white color, and the last an emerald-green hue. Three petite beads rest against a couple of larger stones. One stone fragment is flat and light-brown, and the remaining five beads are tubular or disc-shaped in hues of blue, green, light-brown, and gray. Strung in modern times and wearable as shown, this is a wonderful example of ancient art turned modern fashion! Size (necklace): 14.5" L (36.8 cm); size (largest bead): 0.8" W (2 cm); quality of sterling silver: 92.5% or higher.
