The ancient Peruvians considered jade to be more valuable than gold. Fashioned from beautiful green jade and white spondylus shell beads, this piece can be safely worn as a bracelet or as an anklet. The beads date to the Moche culture of ancient Peru, circa 300 and 400 AD.
This is a very rare, provenanced set of six, ancient ivory hunting and game-processing devices. The pieces are approximately 8000 years of age. Made from walrus ivory, narwhal tusk, and other ivory. These pieces were found by a Canadian collector in the St. Lawrence Islands and Alaska in the 1950's. Details of provenance provided to purchaser.
