What a wonderful necklace with the use of bright colors. The maiden itself is carved of Elk Antler. Her moccasins burnished for color with deer skin wraps that dangle to give movement, a first in creating this piece for Ray. She wears a White Mother of Pear feather wrapped in Sterling Silver pinned to her head. The eyes are inlaid Pen-Shell and the mouth is Mediterranean Coral. Her necklace is inlaid with natural Kingman Turquoise, Mediterranean Coral and Malachite. Below her necklace is two pins of Japanese Coral. The shawl is carefully designed with pigments of Lapis, Green Serpentine and Pipe-Stone.
The Strand is composed of Chrysoprase, Labradorite, Tibetan Turquoise, Lapis, Titanium Garnet, Amethyst and Garnet finished with Sterling Silver toggle & clasp.
