Eva and Linberg Billah' Sterling and turquoise Navajo Naja w/bead chain. SOLD! #2419a

SOLD! This is a heckuva artistic-styled Naja.  The finger-like ends seem to flow outward, grabbing one's adoration.  This is a beautifully cast piece, with a lot of hand-stamping going-on somewhere in the process.  It's said that Native Americans' fascination with the Naja derived originally from seeing the symbol on breastplates of the Spanish Conquistadors' horses.  Navajo artisans have explained to the Drifter that the shape—when worn over one's center-of-being—keeps-out evil influence, allowing only goodness to enter into one's core via the opening at the bottom.  Some of us can use a little of that.  And, this striking-looking piece is adorned with what appears to be a luscious Royston turquoise stone.  Nice.  Not counting any part of the bale it is 2.5-inches long.  Including the bale it is 3.25-inches long.  It is two-inches across at the middle.  Weight of this Naja is 33.7-grams, or 1.89-ounces.  Included is a 16.25-inch, 4mm Sterling bead (pearl) chain—chosen so the Naja will ride high and be seen.  Other, longer bead chains are available at additional cost.   Inquire by email or phone.  The Naja is hallmarked "EL Billah."  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.  Enjoy.
