Valdivia Shell Pendant

An unusually large shell pendant or pectoral ornament from the Valdivia culture of Ecuador, ca. 2300 - 2000 BC. It measures 3-1/8" x 2-1/4" and depicts an owl deity or supernatural being, as indicated by the large round eyes. Drilled side-to-side for suspension. In excellent condition.

I have an nice strand of ancient shell beads, which would work perfectly for restringing this item into a wearable piece of jewelry.
