This is a One Of A Kind, VINTAGE, EXCELLENT Condition, Hand Crafted "Dall Sheep Horn Inlaid Silver Flower Brass & Copper Maple Leaf Bone Pendant" handmade in the late-1940s. My friend's Father was living and working in Alaska during 1948, saving money to get married. A skilled artisan, he made this Pendant for his finance (my friend's mother) which he gave her upon his return. Worn frequently through the late-1980s when it was packed away and forgotten about, it is recently rediscovered; it has been safely and securely stored for over 25 years. It is in EXCELLENT Condition with NO marks, stains, odors, chips, cracks, missing metal work or other damage; it comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home. This Mid-Century Pendant has a RUSTIC Traditional design that fuses a love of nature and the natural with a style that is PURE Americana. It was crafted the old-fashioned way by a talented artist with a design and shape that make it UNIQUE. Oval in shape, it has a height of approximately 2 inches and a width of approximately 1 1/8th inches, with a silver jump ring through an embedded silver bail; it is NOT Marked or Signed.
This is a FABULOUS, SIMPLE, Well Made, Mid-Century Pendant that was carved from a Dall Sheep's antler burr that was found on the ground; NO animals were harmed! A HANDSOMELY BEAUTIFUL Pendant, it features a Silver flower with a red center atop a Brass Maple Leaf that has a Copper Stem, REALLY making a STATEMENT! The detailing is AMAZING with SIMPLE yet STUNNING etched detailed on the flower petals and leaf. With a WONDERFUL design that is quite CHARMING, the Horn Bone Grain adds emphasis to the SPECTACULAR and One-Of-A-Kind design. This is a very collectible piece of American Americana Alaska Made Folk Art. Full of EXQUISITE detail, this Pendant is IMPECCABLE.
