This staggering sterling silver grand Kachina features a winged eagle form, decorated with a beautiful turquoise headdress and studded with coral eyes and decorations. The necklace is displayed on a seamed silver ball necklace, finished with a hook style clasp. The Kachina also has a bolo loop back (but must be unstrung in order to do so).
"Kachinas (or katsinam) are holy spirits or personifications of natural, supernatural, and ancestral forces in the religious beliefs of the Hopi, Zuni, and other Pueblo Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. They represent a life force in all things—animals, plants, stars, and concepts—and are believed to bring rain, healing, and fertility"
