Ancient Suns

Extremely rare, large sculpted Pre-Columbian bead from the ancient Central Mexico area. The grey-black stone of this bead has been artistically carved with a pattern resembling woven fabric, or basketry. The bead has a wonderful lustrous patina, and has excavation dirt intact. This bead could be wonderful, worn as a single bead, on a cord, or it will be a spectacular artifact in a Pre-Columbian collection. This bead’s provenance is from a private collection.
