EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pendant bell known as the "Turtle" dating back to the Pre-Columbian era between 800-1200. Crafted from exquisite gold, this artifact measures 6.4x5.9x2.2 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The Nora and John Wise Collection generously gifted this pendant bell, which was made possible by contributions from Mr. and Mrs. Jake L. Hamon, the Eugene McDermott Family, Mr. and Mrs. Algur H. Meadows, the Meadows Foundation Incorporated, as well as Mr. and Mrs. John D. Murchison. Originating from South America during ancient times, this metallic treasure represents an extraordinary blend of craftsmanship and symbolism within its intricate design featuring a turtle motif. As we delve into its historical significance, we are transported to Mesoamerica where such artifacts were highly valued for their cultural importance and aesthetic appeal. This mesmerizing piece not only serves as a testament to the rich heritage of South American civilizations but also highlights their mastery in jewelry-making techniques. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate the beauty and complexity of this pre-Columbian masterpiece that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
