Authentic Central American Jade Pre-Columbian Amulet (replica) - Simian Motif
$650.00
Code: PCCR040
Size: 2 2/3" tall x 2 ½”wide (7 x 6.5 cms)
The Pre-Columbian reproductions craftsmen that we work with are the same that the national museums of Costa Rica employ when they need replicas made. Their craft is such that they could easily fool many experts regarding authenticity.
The eye for detail and faithfully copied aesthetic that these, often senior, craftsmen achieve is most certainly informed through having handled so many authentic pre-European objects as part of their 'haul' back in the day. These were times when there were no laws against tomb raiding and selling artifacts pilfered from ancient aboriginal graves.
This liquidy green jade amulet represents a simian on its haunches. Caribbean watershed, CE 350-700.
