Group of prehistoric/ancestral beads that have been smoothed out and carved out of stone. There are a group of larger green colored beads and a group of smaller white colored beads.
This group was purchased in a shop located in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Believed to belong to the Mogollon were a prehistoric culture (ca. A.D. 200–1450) that inhabited the high-elevation mountains and canyons of eastern Arizona and western New Mexico. Known for their distinctive brownware pottery and pithouse dwellings, they practiced agricultural farming and hunting. They evolved from the earlier Cochise culture, later developing sedentary, village-centered lifestyles and transitioning from pit houses to stone masonry pueblos.
Condition
Condition is consistent with the projected age of these pieces being hundreds of years old and not everything is still intact, but this group is relatively in good condition. See photos for more condition details.
