Mid 20th century. 3 pendants (the largest measuring approximately 1 3/4" high) and 1 miniature figurine (measuring approx. 3/4" high) of carved jade. Includes Disabled Servicemen's Shop (Whenuapai) envelope items were packaged in at time of purchase. Pieces show some wear to the carved features of the tikis themselves, obscuring some of the finer details but are by and large in fine condition. From the carefully curated collection of a Pan Am flight attendant, in service between the years of 1954 and 1984. Her many travels took her through Central America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific. Keywords: New Zealand, Kiwi, vintage, jewelry, gem, gemstone, fashion
