For sale is an antique 14k yellow gold pendant featuring an Aztec god in carved jade. This pendant features a thick column of carved pale green jade depicting the Aztec god Xiuhtecuhtili, who is traditionally represented as crouching with arms crossed over his chest. In Aztec mythology, Xiuhtecuhtli was the lord of fire, day and heat. He was also the god of volcanoes, the personification of life after death, warmth in cold, light in darkness and food during famine.
The pendant has a thick cap of gold on the top of this head representing Xiuhtecuhtli's crown. A gold band encircles his neck like a necklace. Gold criss-crosses behind his back to hold the jade securely. The jade shows quite a bit of wear, including scuffing, fissure lines and scrapes. The back of the figure shows some pitting to the jade due to age and wear. The pendant has a jump ring bail on top to accommodate your chain.
This one of a kind pendant has a solemn beauty and exudes a sense of calm power.
