- Lot Description
South America, Ecuador, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A beautiful and wearable necklace comprised of glass beads and vintage Ecuadorian centavo coins. The necklace is comprised of 4 strands strung with dozens of petite spherical glass beads. Along each strand are centavos coins of denominations in 2.5, 5, and 10, all comprised of a copper nickel alloy, and minted with the years 1918, 1928, and 1946. The strands terminate at a braided length of cotton cord that can be tied and adjusted to accommodate the wearer's size. The glass beads symbolize red coral, a sign of wealth. The addition of literal coins enhances this perceived wealth and prosperity. This is a wearable piece that is vibrant and interesting accessory! Size of necklace: 26" L (66 cm); largest coin: 0.8" Diameter (2 cm)
Provenance: ex-Alderfer's of Aspen, Aspen, Colorado, USA
