Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!
For sale is a pendant made of 18k yellow gold representing the ancient Incan god Viracocha. The pendant depicts the legend that Viracocha came from the sea in a ship shaped like a winged dragon, riding on a sea of foam and fire. Viracocha can be seen in this pendant, riding on the back of a large double-headed dragon. This is a beautifully detailed pendant that is well-preserved. It is sturdy and heavy, with a large presence due to its large size and fine craftsmanship.
From ReligionoftheInca.Weebly.com: "The Inca were polytheists, meaning that they believed in more than one god. They had many gods, mainly believed to be responsible for certain aspects of life, such as weather and elements of the earth. Although they believed in many gods, their main god was Viracocha, whom they believed was their creator. They believed that he created the earth and all living things. Viracocha, (pronounced Wiracocha), was worshiped by people in Peru, before Inca times."
"Viracocha is mankind's patron and protector, the teacher of all knowledge, science...and civilization. ...Legends say he came from the sea in a ship shaped like a winged dragon/serpent, riding on a sea of foam and fire." (From "The Universal Sign" by Siamak Akhavan)
