Ancient Pottery Shards



This striking Pendant is made up of fossil Ivory, an old anasazi pottery shard, and accented with an old african glass bead. It hangs from large white pearls,which can be worn alone, as the pendant is detachable. The bail of the pendent is accented with 22K gold.

People are not allowed to take pottery shards from national or state parks, but it is entirely legal to collect them on private property. This piece is from a private ranch near Mesa Verde. It is slightly curved suggesting it was from a very large bowl shaped piece..it would have been fabulous to see it in it's first incarnation! $750
