Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico or Guatemala, Mayan, ca. 6th to 9th century CE. The Maya had a preference for brilliant apple-green jade, quite different but no less aesthetically exquisite than the blue-green jade of the earlier Olmec peoples. This piece features a carved frontal visage of a Mayan ruler or lord with intricate headdress and finely delineated facial features. Perforations drilled at lower and upper edges for attachment to clothing. 2-1/4" (5.75 cm) H x 1-1/2" (3.75 cm) W x 3/8" (1 cm) D + custom stand.

Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.
