PE488 silver turtle pendant Harpo

This pendant is made with the Overlay technique. This process (originally made by Hopi people) includes a background soldered to another like-sized piece with a cutout design. The silver background is then oxidized and scratched to bring out contrast between the two pieces.

(1 inch 3/8 x 0.3/4 inch)

This pendant is in sterling silver. 

Proudly Navajo handmade in the USA.
