HUGE MAYAN MASK SHAMAN CARVING IN GUATEMALAN JADEITE JADE MAYA GUATEMALA JAGUAR

Description

LARGE GUATEMALAN JADEITE JADE MAYAN CARVING
This is the largest pendant we have ever made! It was made from a beautiful light green mint that is mixed with a bold dark green. The face on this really stands out because of the color, but also the tongue sticking out! Mayan shaman would pierce their tongues and let blood drip on paper bowls that they would burn, seeing a vision in the smoke (Vision Serpent). The Maya face is adorned with a jaguar headdress, and 2 more mayan faces accent each side. This is a power pendant for a powerful person! If its too heavy to wear (1.1 lbs) it can be hung and displayed like that. The back has been carved out, lessoning the weight. You can see the holes there too.  If you want me to make a thick corded necklace for this I can!
This carving was made at our shop in Copan Ruinas, Honduras by a descendant of the Chor'ti Maya.
Jade has been used as a sacred stone for centuries, bringing serenity, wisdom, balance and all things associated with the best of spiritual practices.
The pendants measure approximately 158 x 110 x 38 mm
It weighs 496 grams
