- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Inca, ca. 1400 to 1533 CE. A beautiful and wearable necklace strung with dozens of hand-carved stone spindle whorls as well as dozens of small spacer beads of greenstone and coral. The spindle whorls are circular in form with carinated midsections, with some boasting incised concentric circles, and others with incised lattice-pattern panels or geometric motifs. Hanging in the center of the necklace is a fabulous hammered 75% sheet-gold (equivalent to 18K gold) pendant, hollow and cylindrical in form, depicting an abstract anthropomorphic figure on one side. Strung in modern times, this is a wonderful and wearable example of ancient art meets modern fashion!
