$289.13

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Sumatra, ca. late 20th to early 21st century CE. A striking pair of Sumatran amber pendants, each carved and polished to emphasize the natural depth and warmth of the material. One is formed as a smooth, organic oval, glowing with rich cognac tones and subtle internal inclusions, while the other takes a more sculptural, ring-like form with a central aperture and darker marbling. Suspended from cords, both pieces highlight the tactile beauty and translucency of amber, long valued in the region for both adornment and its perceived protective qualities. Size of larger pendant: 1.7″ L x 3″ W x 2.1″ H (4.3 cm x 7.6 cm x 5.3 cm); of longer strand: 23.5″ L (59.7 cm)

Provenance: private West Covina, California, USA collection

Condition: Good. Minor surface wear. Otherwise, intact, excellent, and wearable with lustrous, polished surfaces.
