DescriptionGreen jadeite with head in profile, irregular in shape. Perhaps piece of jade collar-probably Zapotec or Maya. The "profile head" is hard to make out if there at all. I see a bent arm and shoulder. Collar identification based on horizontal drilled hole through body of piece. Identification based on curvilinear style and rounded relief.
