- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, ca. 100 to 600 CE. A gorgeous and wearable necklace made from vibrant blue sodalite with creamy yellow veining. The necklace is composed of seventy-three carved sodalite beads, six carved greenstone beads, and a central sodalite pendant depicting a stylized anthropomorphic figure. Each bead has a rounded body, flattened top and bottom faces, and small suspension holes drilled through the center. The figural pendant is defined by a characteristically blocky head with incised eyes, a triangular nose, a jutting chin, bent arms, and attenuated legs, all beneath an incised circular hat. Traces of chalky white pigment are presented within some recessed areas of the figure. Strung with modern string and capped with a modern loop and lobster clasp. Size (necklace): 17.25" L (43.8 cm); size (pendant): 1.1" H (2.8 cm).
Provenance: private Southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
