Chimu Inca Spondylus Shell / Red Coral Bead Strands (3)

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Peru, Chimu-Inca culture, ca. 1000 to 1470 CE. A collection of shell beads likely collected from multiple Pre-Columbian cultures and strung on 3 strands, carved into discs and seed from spondylus shells. The longest strand has several pieces of red coral which are probably from the post-Conquest / modern era and added to balance / fill out the strand. Full shells were added as pendants to the strands of the predominantly white beads. While strung on modern cotton cords, these beads can easily be restrung as necklaces with clasps. Size of longest strand doubled: 24" L (61 cm); large cylinder bead: 0.9" L x 0.35" W (2.3 cm x 0.9 cm)

Provenance: private Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA collection; ex-Minerva Gallery; ex-Benjamin Vega, California, USA, acquired in 2006 to 2007; ex-Gene and Virginia George, brought to the USA from 1961 to 1966
