Central American Jade Jewelry: Long Blade

This jade axe/’celt’ amulet – an elegant long blade – features a very common amulet design widespread around this region before the arrival of the Europeans.

The raw material chosen for this piece is a lovely cut of a liquidy forest green jade. These Pre-Hispanic jades, such as this Central American jadeite jewelry, often possess an aesthetic which resonates with contemporary 21st Century tastes such as this piece – clean, elemental lines.
