Eyes are inset with Copal a (tree resin). I know as Amber.Condition: Excellent, no damage, holes made to wear as amulet are chipped, appear to be done when made. No modern evidence of chipping, cracking or restoration.Location: Western MX, An archeologists stated to me that were it was found might not be source. P...re Columbian cultures traded throughout mesoamerica. He said it authentic & rare with the amber eyes.History: mesoamerican worshipped goddess Ceneotl, patron of child birth. Who took the form of a frog/toad. The verbal history I received from a Huichol Indian was... Frog is the spirit of the rain, it was used in rituals to bring rain.History of find: as you see on other pieces I have listed. I am 76 years old and collected at a early age. I traveled to western MX as a younger man seeking artifacts. I am now ready to let this collection go to the next generation of collectors. Growing up always along the TN river & Duck rivers I found many archaic artifacts, that is what led me to my interest in mesoamerican cultures. The similarities are astonishing.I would be happy to answer any question you might have. I am not a dealer and never have been. I am selling my personal collection because my family does not have any interest in historical artifacts.
