Description
I will be a bit sad when this one sells because it is one of my favorites. Months before I found this shell, I had collected some great handmade clay beads which were part of a sculpture of a native shaman. They are a perfect match! And at least 20 years ago I had gone to a copper scrap yard with a dear friend and very accomplished enamelist by the name of Mimi Walsh ( her art can still be seen on the web), where I accumulated some great copper scrap. All that comes together in this piece. Earrings included.
Length: 36″ adjustable
