Thunderbirds are considered to be powerful intelligent forces of nature by many Indigenous people and have with the power of thunder.  They are sometimes associated with lightening.

Channel inlay jewelry is a process used extensively by Native American jewelers, particularly those in Zuni Pueblo.  Many other talented jewelers from other tribes in the Southwest also make channel inlay jewelry.  The metal channels, usually silver, is soldered onto the back to create the design.  Afterward, the stones are cut to fit into each section.  It is an exacting process which shows in the beauty of the work of the finished piece(s).

David Tune is an award-winning Creek, Navajo, Hopi jeweler.  We love David's pendants that resemble spirit people like this one which appears to be looking over its shoulder.  He placed a beautiful cabochon of natural Godber turquoise that is blue-green at the top.  He inlaid the "body" with red and salmon coral, blue turquoise and tiny bit of lapis.  The setting has detailed cut-outs all around the edge of the inlay, and the silver part above is stamped by hand.  It has a long, graceful bail that would fit a wide chain or 4-6mm beads.  It is stamped on the back with two flowers hallmark and name.

Size: 3.125 H x .625" W
