From a New England collector's estate comes this superb Native American Indian fetish necklace, perhaps the finest I've ever seen! It measures about 29" long and boasts 11 hand carved genuine semi precious fetish figural carvings of animals, each about 2" long. I am not sure what the animal is supposed to be, perhaps some sort of beaver? Fox? Not a bear, or wolf, so please, feel free to contact me if you know what these are.
Probably dating to the 1980s or so, the necklace is stunning when worn, each fetish seperated with tiny shell beads. Silver caps and a hook and loop make up the clasp.

The fetishes are well detailed and are of varying gemstones including carnelian, and stones that appear to be jasper or some sort of agate. Two are made of carved mother of pearl and the center focal animal is a lovely turquoise. The stones are rust, rust red, pearl, grey, turquoise blue, and a marbelized gray. Superb indeed!
In excellent condition, the stone carved figures are free of damage or repair, and the necklace is intact and ready to wear. It may need restringing as ALL necklaces eventually will need, but otherwise, this is in MINT condition. The original owner paid well over $200 for this about 15-25 yrs ago, so grab it now before someone else will. |
