Thomas Turqoise Bear Pendant

£575.00 inc. VAT

Turquoise Bear Pendant and Choker. This one-off hand carved Bear Pendant is very special, crafted by Thomas, a well known artist and sculptor. The Bear has ritual significance to the South West American peoples, power being its main attribute : the village leaders were traditionally chosen from the Bear clan, and it also features in fetish carvings, where its significance can vary according to the powers instilled into it by a Shaman, such as prowess in hunting. Apart from being a beautiful item of jewellery, this piece represents a culture where all all beings are interdependant, and must play their part in contributing to an equlibrium by respecting their ancestors, and the spirits of all living things.
