Description
Pre-Columbian, Mexico or Guatemala, Mayan, ca. 6th to 9th century CE. This jade pendant features a carved view of a Mayan lord kneeling down in supplication. The low-relief figure is created from a series of shallow lines, giving it a more abstract appearance than much similar Maya art. The Maya had a preference for brilliant translucent jade. This one has a drilled hole for suspension behind the head. Size: 2.1" W x 1.6" H (5.3 cm x 4.1 cm)
