Wearable Olmec Jadeite Duck Pendant: Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico, La Venta, Olmec culture, Middle Formative Period to Intermediate Period, ca. 900 to 600 BCE. A significant duck form pendant, hand-carved from a mottled pale green and creamy jadeite stone. This naturalistic carving shows a duckling with its head tucked into its body, as if resting or looking backwards. The head has been emphasized with bulging brow and large eyes, yet the overall balance of the sculpture is pleasing. There is an interesting effect which can be seen when the pendant is viewed straight on from the tail feathers - possibly a transformation between avian and man. The body and tail form human arms and hands which appear to reach out toward the viewer. There are three small holes drilled at the end of the semi-translucent tail for other attachments or ornamentation. A piercing for suspension has been drilled though the neck of the bird. This is a striking and wearable Olmec stone totem that has been strung in modern times on a cord with a lobster clasp. Size of pendant: 2. 25" L x . 75" W x 1. 5" H (5. 7 cm x 1. 9 cm x 3. 8 cm); cord: 20. 5" L (52. 1 cm). . While difficult to completely understand their belief system given that the Olmec were pre-literate, scholars theorize that their famous monumental stone heads, which can weigh up to forty tons, may have been erected to honor ancestors or rulers. The smaller jade and greenstone figures and amulets like this example are thought to represent totems or divinities. The artistry and technique of Olmec sculptural works is remarkable given what little technology that was available to them as well as the dearth of earlier works to reference for inspiration. The Olmec style oftentimes embraces a certain amount of naturalism as well as abstract interpretation of features as we see in this duck amulet. Olmec statuettes representing figures donning duck masks suggest that Olmec shaman may have worn duck masks to assume an alter ego. Ichnographically in the Pre-Columbian world, ducks were viewed as sacred animals of the watery realm and the sky world, as they could both dive deep under water and fly long distances through the air. . .

NECKLACE W/ OLMEC JADE BEADS, DUCK HEAD PENDANTPre-Columbian, southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec culture, ca. 900 to 500 BCE. A stunning necklace comprised of nearly 100 ancient beads carved from omphacite jade, turquoise, with cast gold beads and a jadeite bird pendant at the center. The terminal ends of the strand are strung with dozens of jade seed beads. The larger tubular, disc, and rectangular beads are each flanked with 7 petite hollow 80% gold (equivalent to 19K+) spherical and tubular beads. The large tubular mottle green blue beads are omphacite, the rarest of all jade varieties. The pendant at the center is carved as a duck head with a prominent crest. The duck's round cranium gracefully flows and tapers to the slender beak. The nostrils and eyes are drilled into the surface and a reddish pigment, perhaps cinnabar is applied to the recessed areas. The beads are strung in modern times with a gold-plated clasp which makes this a wearable accessory. Size of necklace: 20" L (50.8 cm); pendant: 2" L x 1" W (5.1 cm x 2.5 cm); gold quality: 80% (equivalent to 19K+)
This piece is replete with ancient symbolism, for green stones such as jade were precious materials that represented fertility. Ducks were viewed as sacred animals of the watery realm and the sky world, as they could both dive deep under water and fly long distances through the air. The Muscovy duck is the earliest domesticated duck species in South America and has a distinctive bumpy, red face and sometimes a crest.
This piece has been searched against the Art Loss Register database and has been cleared. The Art Loss Register maintains the world's largest database of stolen art, collectibles, and antiques.
