Pre-Columbian, Mayan Territories, ca. 500 to 950 CE. So rare to find a matching pair, and just imagine how much workmanship was required to create each of these jade, floral-shaped ear spools! Both ear flares/earspools present four carved rounded petals with incised lines on the front faces further separating the petals. In addition to the fine artistry exhibited, the jade carved for each ear spool is inherently beautiful, of apple green and white hues. Both have deep ear sockets with drilled holes to accept a pin to keep in position. At the risk of repetition, it is extremely RARE to find a matching pair, and the level of skill and technique it took to create these given the limited tools available during this time is beyond impressive! Custom stand. Size: .75" L x 1.5" in diameter (1.9 cm x 3.8 cm); 3.125" H (7.9 cm) on included custom stand.
