I purchased this beautiful necklace 15 years ago, in January of 2009 on . This is one of many Native American Jewelry Pieces from the Estate of Lorraine Johnson. From the information I received, Mrs. Johnson, along with her husband Ed, collected and sold Native American Jewelry and other items in the 60’s through 1982. They owned a trading post/store called “Crossroads” and some of my purchased items from many of the Johnsons’ listings have their original “Crossroads” price tags still attached. Lorraine and Ed Johnson bought top quality artisan pieces first hand in the 60’s and 70’s until 1982 in Arizona and New Mexico.

I have owned and viewed on line and at sale, in addition to handling many, many fetish necklaces and I will say I have never seen TINIER hand carved fetish birds with so much detail! Here is the incedible part, EACH BIRD has 9 notched tail feathers on upper part of the back tail and on both sides of the tail side angle, there is one carved notch - each bird fetish has 2 wing area notches on both sides of mid-body - each has a black colored carved eye socket on each side of head - just incredible workmanship from an undoubtably Master Stone Carver! This Necklace is Museum quality in my opinion.
The stung Heishe Beads and Bird Fetishes are nice and snug, there are no gaps in stringing/cording, no frays or damage - I did not separate the turquoise beads to get an up close look at cording - NOT NECESSARYand I do not want to cause damage
All Bird Fetishes Are Perfect But One - one bird missing top portion of head from approx eye socket to beak - see photos 4 and 5
So delicate and fine and light weight you hardly know you\'re wearing it - and it looks incredible on - gorgeous!
Total length is 31 inches - clasp is original and perfect - cones are vintage perfect with incised sun ray decoration, cones need polishing as does the chain - all metal is sterling silver - total weight is 24 grams
This is a ONE OF A KIND Artist Creation - shipping charges include inssurance for sale price and adult signature
