Description: Own your own piece of history with this depression era, Santo Domingo/Kewa style tab necklace with thunderbird pendant and matching screw back earrings. In addition to the chip inlay of turquoise, it is quite probable that some random materials such as old tooth brushes and battery boxes, etc. were also used in this piece, as was common of the ear and this style of necklace. This is a real, old one from before mid-century, likely the depression era, and is not one of the modern re-pops you see so often.
Maker: Unknown Santo Domingo artist.
Approx. Age: Circa 1930s (depression era) to not later than mid-century.
Size: Measures 26" around the neck. Pendant is an additional 2-1/4"l x 1-1/2"w. Weighs 70 g.
Condition: Pretty good for its age, normal wear expected. Some of the turquoise chip inlay has come loose in a couple of places, but it's hardly noticeable.
