- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, Guanacaste/Nicoya region, ca. 200 to 600 CE. An intriguing pendant depicting an abstract anthropomorphic figure, hand-carved from mottled sage-green stone with beige, citrine, and dark-grey inclusions. The tapering triangular body has a rounded forehead, a pair of biconically-drilled suspension holes representative of 'eyes,' a shallow drilled medallion centered on the chest, and a pair of parallel string-cut grooves delineating the waist. The rounded body projects out from one side and terminates in a rounded corner, and a large rectangular panel is string-cut into the obverse side. A carving seam along the verso shows how this was hewn from a larger piece of stone. The pendant hangs from a pair of gold-filled rings and a modern necklace strand and makes this a wearable example of a rare form from ancient Costa Rica! Modern necklace strand included. Size (pendant): 2.125" W x 3.3" H (5.4 cm x 8.4 cm); size (necklace): 22" L (55.9 cm).
Provenance: ex-private West Palm Beach, Florida, USA collection; ex-private Worham collection
