This is a particularly beautiful piece, hand made by an Oaxacan artist using beautiful materials - the beads are a mix of Mexican amber and Guatemalan jadeite, and the central face is Mexican amber from Chiapas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central figure is a traditional design - displaying prominent lips that are found on many statues an figurines throughout Mesoamerica. There are many theories about the history and meaning of these figures, but in this piece the artist is symbolising a traditional mayan face. A prominent 'roman' nose, downturned lips and a slender shaped head are common features of figures from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wonderful piece, beautifully crafted - please note that a couple of the beads at the top of the necklace are split - we have left these as they were received from the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the photos and watch the brief video - this is a lively and very unique pendant. It is a good size, but very light so that it can be worn very comfortably. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eONE ONLY.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping with Express Courier included in the price.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eAngel tizóc Delgado\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Amber, Guatemalan Jadeite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCord Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: Adjustable - 42cm (16.5\") shortest, 57cm (22.5\") longest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize of face\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52mm (2\") long, 27mm (1\") wide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NZ Pacific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67888207167720,"sku":"NZPMA1","price":627.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/1768\/files\/Ma1_6.jpg?v=1792092141","url":"https:\/\/www.nzpacific.com\/en-gb\/products\/fuego-antiguo","provider":"NZ Pacific","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
