- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast of Peru, Sican/Lambayeque culture, ca. 750 to 1370 CE. A fabulous necklace composed of dozens of hand-carved turquoise beads in spherical, cylindrical, and tubular forms. The lustrous blue-green stone beads are interspersed with 11 petite gold spheres (65% gold or equivalent to 15K), and the meeting point of both sides is adorned with a large turquoise sphere. Hanging beneath the center is a mold-formed gold figurative pendant (also 65% gold or equivalent to 15K) with a squat form, almond-shaped eyes, deep nasolabial folds, and a striated headdress. The figure is perhaps depicting Naylamp (also Naymlap, Nanlap), the traditional founder of the Lambayeque dynasty, who came from the south by sea and colonized the region before he allegedly sprouted wings and flew off into the sunset in a display of his supernatural powers. A gorgeous and wearable necklace ready to complement any ensemble! Size (necklace): 31" L (78.7 cm); size of pendant: 1.3" W x 1.625" H (3.3 cm x 4.1 cm); quality of gold: 65% (equivalent to 15K).
Provenance: ex-private Ruth B. collection, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, acquired around 1950
