The mixture of amuletic stone head pendants and figures in this group of twelve (TEH.F51.3, 4, 9, 10, 12-17, and 42) was assembled from finds made in the Mitla area by the late Chester Howard in the mid-20th century. Identified by Howard as Mixtec in origin, and dated c.1100-1500AD, most of the head pendants can be immediately hung on a chain or cord for contemporary wear. The couple on which the suspension hole has worn out can be easily adapted for wear...

If this one had only been complete, it would almost certainly been a treasured piece in a museum collection! However, buried alabaster artifacts seldom survive the dissolving effects of ground water, even as well as this one did. Found in West Mexico in the mid-20th century by the late Lynn Langdon, he glued together all that remained from broken pieces that had once formed a translucent and unbelievably beautifully crafted three-legged zoomorphic jar (LLL640)...

This semi-polished, mottled light gray and green stone bird pendant (PBF211) was found in the shaft tomb region of southern Colombia close to the border of Ecuador and is attributed to the Narino Capuli period, c.900-1400AD. Measuring 1 7/8” in length from the tip of its toucan-like beak to the tip of its rounded tail, it could easily be mistaken as jade, but with a measured specific gravity of 2.78, it is too light to be so identified...

Worn as protective pieces in Pre-Columbian days, most were drilled for suspension and can be worn today...
