Description
Jade assumed mystical qualities because of its superiority to other stones becoming a symbol of ceremony and authority in Ancient Costa Rica. This bluish-green jade carved with refined delicacy and precision depicts a female figure, which is rarely seen in Costa Rican axe pendants of the time. This noble woman's dignity comes to life as we admire her today and wonder what powerful person she must have protected. - (PF.2806)
