These pendants (1,2,3) are based on miniature shell masks from the Anker Site in
Illinois (900-1200A.D.). They apparently represent deities of the worlds
center and quarters. All have "forked eye" markings. The forked-eye
design is traditional in the Mississippian cultures art. some of their
imagery suggests Mesoamerican influences of the Toltec-Aztec Culture.
They are made of polymer clay on a 23 inch adjustable cord. They are
approximately 1 1/2" high.
