| This 24” necklace (100.152HD) is made up of hammered, high karat sheet gold hollow beads and an assortment of barrel and disk shaped greenstone beads. All are attributed to the Veraguas horizon of Panama dating c.500-1200AD. It is not known whether these were all found together, but the similarity of type and size would so indicate. Strung on contemporary fishing line, the beads can be worn, but due to the lightweight nature of the gold, care must be taken not to lean against a table edge or some other hard surface (some of the gold beads have been bent, creased, or partially crushed). Best used as an example of early native gold work, these would make a colorful addition to a collection of ancient jewelry or Precolumbian art. The necklace comes with a small display card, a map of Panama outlining the Veraguas area, and a certificate guaranteeing authenticity. | ||||||
