| From the same consigned collection that our other Orlandini Museum pieces are from, this interesting Pre-Columbian necklace (LFG249) was assembled from many @ 3mm long fired clay tube beads, ten individually hand modeled anthropomorphic figural clay bead-pendants, and a 1 ¾” long, slightly tapered and nicely preserved mother-of-pearl central pendant. All in excellent condition, but not wearable without restringing due to the age of the beading string (50 years + or -), the figural beads are represented by three different styles, each of which is illustrated in the accompanying photos. There are two of those shown as style ‘A’, two of the ‘B’ style, and six of the ‘C’ style, none of which is exactly the same due to the way they were made. Unfortunately, the Orlandini Museum papers for this necklace were lost, but the current owner, once a research anthropologist and well-known southwestern based primitive arts dealer, has affirmed that it was purchased from Orlandini. Although the horizon from which they came is not known, they are unquestionably Pre-Columbian and my guess is an early group, probably Nasca dating into the period c.100-700AD. The necklace is mounted in an 8” x 12” glass-fronted collector’s frame and comes with a map of Peru highlighting the Nasca area, a biographical sketch about its current owner, and finally our certificate guaranteeing that the beads are Pre-Columbian in age. Select or ask any question by referring either to the Trocadero Item Number at the top of this page, or to our Inventory noted in brackets at the beginning of this paragraph. NOTE: if you would like to view a large number of our various listings, and at the same time limit your browsing, try our ‘TWELVE different items on a single page format’ by simply spelling out the word TWELVE in the search box. That will quickly bring up all of our listings that have twelve different items on a page, each individually priced! And if you want to further refine the group, add one or two additional modifiers at the same time such as ‘Indian, Precolumbian, Stone, Pot, Gold, Jewelry, etc.’ Any item that has been sold will be so noted on its photograph. | |||||||||||
