Openwork Pendant 10th-4th century B.C. Olmec This jade pendant is carved with an axe-like profile and thinned into a translucent plaque.

Four parallel lines run the length of the pendant, made by a combination of drilling and string-sawing. An incised cruciform design, a motif common in Olmec art, probably references the cardinal directions.. Openwork Pendant 316285
