- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Panama Isthmus / Northern Colombia, International Group, ca. 800 to 1200 CE (gold pendant); Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Maya, ca. 550 to 900 CE (jadeite and serpentine beads); Colombia, Tairona culture, ca. 800 to 1200 CE (quartz and gold beads). A beautiful necklace composed entirely of ancient beads from the Pre-Columbian world, centered around a lovely abstract international group 75% gold (equivalent to 18K) pendant with a domed form encircled by an incredibly delicate fringe of gold above three splayed legs, each ending in two large granulations. Above the pendant are two Maya beads, the smaller serpentine, the larger a stunning deep forest green jadeite. Above this, the necklace splits into two strands, each with seven columnar translucent quartzite beads interspersed with dozens of hollow gold spherical beads that range from 53-62% gold (equivalent to 10-15K+). Length of necklace: 19.5" L (49.5 cm); pendant is: 0.95" H (2.4 cm); total weight: 47.4 grams
All together the necklace has a magical, mysterious appearance, with the gold, greenstone, and quartz colors and textures perfectly complementing each other.
