We are excited because this is the first fetish necklace by Sarah with all animals, that we've had in quite a while! Using turquoise, pink mussel shell, mother-of-pearl and abalone, we see Bear, bushy tails (Fox, Wolf or Coyote) and feathered friends all harmoniously aligned in a single strand of turquoise. Each animal has a super sweet personality, all with drilled eyes. Sarah learned to carve by helping her father, the famous Leekya Deyuse, with his polishing. About 31" in total length, while each carving ranges from 1 1/8" to 1 3/4" in length.
This necklace is pictured on page 337 in the newest edition of Gregory Schaaf's 'American Indian Jewelry II: A-L' book. Signed copies are currently available, please contact us for more information. - $1600.00

Verna's Bear and bird single stand fetish necklace is about 33 1/4" in total length. The longest carving is about
1 1/8". She's used precious pink coral to carve each animal with drilled eyes. They are strung with fine heishe beads. The color combination between the soft pink coral with the rich brown heishe works very well together! - $360.00
