Pre-Columbian, Mexico or Central America
This amulet, as how could it not have been made for some magical purpose (?), is a spectacular green stone or jade so beautifully carved and smoothed to be concave on one side, as a place for the thumb, and rounded on the other. It is a stunning object, piece of jewelry from the ancient past.
One of a kind, of course!
