| Description |
This genuine ancient Teotihuacan jade amulet
has been set in a modern 14 karat gold pendant.
Ancient Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico was
famous for its stone sculpture. Especially the
lifelike masks whose exact function remains
mysterious. Here, in jade of delicate green, is a
mask of the classical style, depicting a figure
with open, laughing mouth. It is impossible to
say whether this carving represents a real
person, yet to wear it in pendant form is to share
its benevolent protection with the person who
first wore it so long ago.
