Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand glows with happiness at the Maya carved jade figure from Kixpek, Guatemala, dating to the Early Classic period (AD 200 - 600) which she selected from a Museum storeroom. October 26, 1998 "The jadeite pendant has a wonderful appeal. The figure's crossed arms portray a feeling of warmth. I especially like the design of the headdress worn by the figure. It would be a wonderful piece to wear. It is very decorative." next pair of eyes >
