Watch List notes:

Lot of 2 pre-Columbian gold earrings in the form of a snake chasing its tail, from Central or South America. 1.39 grams total, each about 1/2" in diameter. Conjecturally linked to the Quetzalcoatl ("feathered serpent") of Mesoamerican culture, the snake-chasing-tail image is commonly seen in native earrings like these, this pair being somewhat dainty but perfectly intact, in presumably high-karat gold (22K?), the "head" of the snake more stylistic than artistic. In Riker box.

Estimate: $200 - 300
