Guerrero Mezcala Jadeite Figure & 2 Greenstone Pendants

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $500**

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Guerrero, Mezcala, ca. 300 to 100 BCE. A remarkable ensemble of three carved-stone amulets from the ancient Mezcala; one jadeite figure and a pair of greenstone pendants. Skillfully string-cut, the stylized figure presents delineated legs, a square torso, and a sizable head with an angular chin, an incised mouth, prominent nasolabial folds, and an extended brow carved into four tiers. The ancient amulet features a silky smooth surface in mottled hues of sage and ash grey with charcoal grey inclusions. Alternatively, both of the pendants display annular drill holes for suspension. Boasting shades of celadon and fern green, the first pendant exhibits the form of an abstract lizard head with a triangular shape, an incised mouth around the periphery, and a pair of risen eyes in each corner. The last stone carving presents as a figural pendant with a wide head, a square torso, a narrow waist, and delineated legs, all naturally adorned in tones of olivine and pine green. Size of largest: 2.5" L x 1" W (6.4 cm x 2.5 cm); Size of display case: 6.25" W x 5.25" H (15.9 cm x 13.3 cm)
