Mayan jade figure pendants are exquisite artifacts from the ancient Maya civilization (roughly 2000 BCE to 1500 CE, with peak Classic period production around 250–900 CE). The Maya highly prized jade (primarily jadeite from sources in the Motagua River Valley in modern Guatemala) as a sacred material symbolizing life, fertility, renewal, maize (their staple crop), water, and the breath soul—due to its vibrant green color evoking vegetation and vitality.
