Pat Yazzie, Pendant, Spiny Oyster Shell, Navajo, 2 3/4"

This bold pendant by Navajo artist Pat Yazzie features a beautifully carved Spiny Oyster Shell in the shape of a bear, a sacred symbol of strength, healing, and protection in Native culture. The vibrant shell displays a stunning blend of golden yellow, deep orange, and rich magenta hues that mirror the warm tones of a desert sunset. Set in sterling silver, the bear is framed by intricate hand-stamped details and accented with a row of polished silver beads that enhance the pendant’s depth and texture. The large stamped bale complements the overall design, allowing the piece to be worn with a variety of chains or necklaces.
