Taino Pendant Monkey Human Transition, Shamanic Vision. PreColumbian:
$150.00


This important piece is made from manatee bone and is in in excellent condition, no bone stress or separation sometimes found in bone pieces. Depicts a human to monkey transition but presented in a convoluted characterization typical of Hallucinogenic visions. Bone was most often used in this type of “vision memory” depiction as it was easier to carve than stone capturing the vision while fresh. Measures 6.8cm or 2.6”. From the Taino Culture of the Greater Antilles and dating c1000-1500AD.
