Necklace w/ Mixtec Shell & Stone Beads, Copper Bells

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Mixtec culture, ca. 1200 to 1500 CE. A marvelous and musical ensemble of Mixtec shell and stone beads and 6 ancient copper bell beads, all strung with modern, polished green and red stone beads on a modern strand to be wearable. Hammered from a copper silver alloy, the largest bell displays a zoomorphic visage resembling a monkey, while the shell beads present a variety of forms, from discoid to geometric to anthropomorphic. Give the strand a gentle shake and note the musical sound of the clappers, jostling inside each bell. A lovely, wearable piece of ancient history with beauty that resonates through the ages! Size of largest bell: 1.2" L x 0.9" W (3 cm x 2.3 cm); of strand: 29" L (73.7 cm)

Condition

Polished red and green stone beads are modern, but all others are ancient; all strung on a modern strand with an s-hook clasp to be wearable. Some small losses, as well as chips, nicks, and abrasions to ancient beads as shown, all commensurate with age. Otherwise, most beads are intact with an excellent presentation. Bells are intact and still function.
