NECKLACE W/ OLMEC JADE BEADS, DUCK HEADNECKLACE W/ OLMEC JADE BEADS, DUCK HEAD PENDANTPre-Columbian, southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec culture, ca. 900 to 500 BCE. A stunning necklace comprised of nearly 100 ancient beads carved from omphacite jade, turquoise, with cast gold beads and a jadeite bird pendant at the center. The terminal ends of the strand are strung with dozens of jade seed beads. The larger tubular, disc, and rectangular beads are each flanked with 7 petite hollow 80% gold (equivalent to 19K+) spherical and tubular beads. The large tubular mottle green blue beads are omphacite, the rarest of all jade varieties. The pendant at the center is carved as a duck head with a prominent crest. The duck's round cranium gracefully flows and tapers to the slender beak. The nostrils and eyes are drilled into the surface and a reddish pigment, perhaps cinnabar is applied to the recessed areas. The beads are strung in modern times with a gold-plated clasp which makes this a wearable accessory. Size of necklace: 20" L (50.8 cm); pendant: 2" L x 1" W (5.1 cm x 2.5 cm); gold quality: 80% (equivalent to 19K+)
This piece is replete with ancient symbolism, for green stones such as jade were precious materials that represented fertility. Ducks were viewed as sacred animals of the watery realm and the sky world, as they could both dive deep under water and fly long distances through the air. The Muscovy duck is the earliest domesticated duck species in South America and has a distinctive bumpy, red face and sometimes a crest.
This piece has been searched against the Art Loss Register database and has been cleared. The Art Loss Register maintains the world's largest database of stolen art, collectibles, and antiques.

COLIMA EFFIGY VESSEL CONJOINED DUCKS**OriginallyCOLIMA EFFIGY VESSEL CONJOINED DUCKS**Originally Listed At $500**
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A cute burnished two-tone redware double duck effigy vessel, the form comprised of co-joined ducks, each with plump bodies, incised eyes, slender necks and wings. The conjoined fowl could symbolize unity, and ducks were viewed as sacred animals of the watery realm and the sky world as they could both dive deep under water and fly long distances through the air. Ducks and other waterfowl were used as protectors against evil spirits and ritualistically sacrificed and eaten, and in addition, duck effigies were associated with fertility and rebirth. West Mexican shaft tomb cultures like the Colima used effigy vessels, such as this example, as spirit guardians or guides for the deceased. Size: 9.75" L x 5" W x 6.5" H (24.8 cm x 12.7 cm x 16.5 cm)

MAYA STUCCO LIDDED CYLINDER BIRD HEADMAYA STUCCO LIDDED CYLINDER BIRD HEAD ATOPPre-Columbian, Mexico and Guatemala, Mayan Territories, Late Classic, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A tall cylinder vessel with a lid and bird head ring handle- the lid does not match this vessel but is of the same style and era as the body. The surface of the pottery was once the canvas for a painted and stucco scene or glyphs, but time and exposure has worn these away leaving only remains of the ochre, white, and red over the buff surface. Although stylized the ring handle is unmistakably the profile of a bird - likely a waterfowl, such as a duck. Ducks were viewed as sacred animals of the watery realm and the sky world, as they could both dive deep under water and fly long distances through the air. The Muscovy duck is the earliest domesticated duck species in the Americas and has a distinctive bumpy, red face and sometimes which the Maya would have been keenly aware of. Size: 6" Diameter x 9.75" H (15.2 cm x 24.8 cm)
