Description
This is a very large 1950 mid century hand wrought copper and hand carved Aztec Jade or Mesoamerica Green Jadeite Mexican face pendant with an early oxidized finish. It came from a mid century Westchester, NY estate years ago and measures 4″ tall! A very oversized fine example of mid century handwrought Mexican jadeite tribal jewelry. Width across the arms East to West is 3.5″. The green onyx face has lovely color and banding. You can see in the photos that the better part of the stone with all the banding was used. The banding goes all the way around the edge in dark to light green colors in concentric circles. The carved face alone is 1 9/16″ tall. Highly noticeable and very well carved. There are also additional stone beads in each corner. The one at the top is missing. Any similar white jadeite bead will do for replacement. Other than this it is in excellent overall condition. All of the copper, the cut work on the edges and the hand applied squiggles are intact. Beautifully made this is a gorgeous, eye stopping pendant for anyone who collects mid century handmade Mexican or tribal jewelry.
