The pendant you see here is Quiche Mayan, an incised ceramic spindle whorl dating to the 1300s to 1700s. Found in Guatemala, it is incised on both sides and looks like it was pit fired, due to the smoky coloration. It’s an unusual flat disc shape for a spindle whorl.
I’ve accompanied it with a variety of similarly earthy, ancient and antique beads, including dinosaur bone nuggets, Baltic black and green amber, ancient Bactrian glass, antique French steel cut beads and African brass, and brass discs. All are strung on silk cord, giving the necklace a luxurious soft drape.
Grounding, ancient and timeless…it will go with you anywhere.
For desert spirits and fearless souls…
