Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, Guanacaste / Nicoya region, ca. 200 to 600 CE; Colombia, Tairona, ca. 800 to 1200 CE. A wonderful ensemble of two necklaces composed of beads carved from different colors of spondylus shell. First is a necklace comprised of 7 frog-form beads made from spondylus shell of purple, white, and yellow hues, each with circular eyes inlaid with green-hued stone. Each frog is separated by a small stone seed bead of creamy yellow hues, and the remainder of the necklace strand is strung with dozens of similar beads. Next is a Tairona necklace with dozens of discoid spondylus shell beads of red-orange and white colors, with several small greenstone seed beads, and a pale-green stone amulet with an abstract countenance and a conical body. Strung in modern times, these necklaces are wearable for any occasion! Size of largest necklace (Tairona): 18.375" L (46.7 cm); size of largest bead (Tairona amulet): 1.375" H (3.5 cm).
