Fabulous Native American handmade pendant, created by Navajo artist, Ervin Tsosie. Ervin Tsosie is arguably one of the best Navajo micro-inlay artists working today.

Set in silver, the pendant and bale are both intricately inlaid with hundreds of tiny hand-cut, semi-precious stones, such as turquoise, coral, lapis, jet and mother of pearl. Even the bale is inlaid and on a curvature, no less. Tsosie's attention to detail is meticulous, and his pieces are so finely crafted, it boggles the mind.

The pendant measures almost 1-7/8" in diameter by 3" long, including the over-sized inlaid bale, by 1/4" thick and weighs 51.7 grams. The bale has a usable interior diameter of 1/2-inch, perfect for silver beaded necklaces or several strands of beads.

Brand new and in perfect condition. Gift Box and Certificate of Authenticity included. Hallmarked by the artist.
