THUNDERBIRD W/ INLAID SUN GOD FACE STERLING PENDANT
ON TOP QUALITY TURQUOISE HEISHI
A wondrous Thunderbird icon with a magnificent inlaid Sun God face on it stands out of this remarkably crafted sterling silver pendant fabricated from ingot (.925) silver. It comes with a strand of hand strung top grade turquoise heishi.
THUNDERBIRD has been one of the most dominant icons in Native American art and legends. In fact, the concept of the thunderbird has been so popular that it has been used in the non-Native world to name a classic automobile, liquor, a 1960's children's adventure television show, a US Air Force squadron and is referenced in pop music. The thunderbird is one of the few cross-cultural characters in Native American mythology since it is found in legends of Pacific Northwest, Plains, and Northeastern tribes. Thunderbird can tame the winds alternating between calm and storms. In this way the Thunderbird was not merely seen as a large, natural flying creature, but as a semi-supernatural creature with ties to the divine world above.
Several of our industry's top materials are being utilized in handcrafting this piece such as genuine Sleeping beauty turquoise and natural Pearl oyster shell. We have also utilized premium man-made BRILLIANT AND FIERY "FIRE & ICE" opal, luscious lapis lazuli, granny apple green gaspiate, pink mussel shell and black as midnight jet.
This creation measures 3 9/16" long (including the bail) X 2 3/8" at its widest portion. The experience of beauty does not take its pause here. Click here to see some more of our stunning pendants.
