Description
Pre-Columbian, Caribbean/Florida, Taino people, ca. 15th century CE. A small petrified bone (probably Hispaniolan Hutia - a type of native rodent) pendant in the form of a skeletal human figure. This hand carved piece is in the round, and has many interesting details - the skull-like face, the drawn-up knees, the hands raised to cover the ears, and the ribs and spine showing on the back of the figure. Taino society, a loose collection of chiefdoms, was composed of commoners, who were responsible for gathering and hunting food, and members of the nobility, who were artisans creating items like this one. Size: 1.05" W x 2.6" H (2.7 cm x 6.6 cm)
