Olmecoid Jade Pectoral - PF.4152, Origin: Mesoamerica, Circa: 900 BC to 500 BC, Dimensions: 6.75" (17.1cm) high, Catalogue: V25, Collection: Pre-Columbian, Style: Olmecoid, Medium: Jade. This beautiful pectoral shows the amazing craftsmanship that was available at the time. Its flawlessness is exemplified by the brilliant color of the stone, a hard material, which has been carefully carved. In the center is a small, expressive face with deep penetrating eyes, and a grimacing mouth that seems to open wider as we approach it. The frown complements the turned down mouth, creating a sense of symmetry. On either side of the face is a geometric twist pattern that has been delicately carved. The entire piece has also been polished to accentuate the perfect color and making it smooth to the touch. This type of artwork immortalizes the past as well as the artist giving us a richer sense of the past.
