Ancient Suns

This is a very striking Mesoamerican greenstone pendant bead, likely from the Mezcala Culture, or possibly earlier. 2000+ years old. The color on this pendant is a lovely soft green. It has the interesting feature of having been simply decorated, in three places. There are additional drilled “holes” or eyes(only partially drilled into the stone), that are almost exactly opposite each other, on either side of the bead. This is a feature occasionally found in Mayan beads, as well. There is also a line decoration on the side of the bead, that can be seen in the fourth photo. This is an unusual and handsome bead.
