Vintage 50s Hand Carved Mayan Ajaw Glyph Bone Pendant Mexican Folk Art Jewelry
$42.99
Description:
Embrace the spirit of ancient Mesoamerica with this striking vintage 1950s hand-carved bone necklace. This statement piece features a meticulously detailed Mayan "Ajaw" (Lord/Sun) glyph, a sacred symbol representing leadership, solar energy, and the culmination of time in the Tzolkin calendar.
Crafted during the mid-century Mayan Revival era, this pendant is carved from natural bovine bone, showcasing a creamy, aged patina that only comes with time. The high-relief carving is set within an organic, shield-shaped cartouche, suspended from a durable, dark-braided cord. True to its indigenous-inspired roots, the necklace features a traditional bone toggle closure, making it entirely metal-free and hypoallergenic.
Whether you are a collector of Mexican folk art, an admirer of archaeological jewelry, or seeking a unique bohemian statement piece, this necklace connects the modern wearer to the profound artistry of the Maya civilization.
