Primitive Indian Skull necklace & earrings terra cotta beads feather talisman

Unavailable

 

When you see these at first and see how the pottery feathers  move, it looks like the skulls come alive with arms and legs.  Deep rich earthy greens that are fired over terra cotta make up the large long beads ( 1" x 1/2" wide) on the necklace. A tan suede strip holds them all together. The pendant and earrings match and both have beautifully kilned feathers that have a mother of pearl hue. The pendant and earrings have flat turquoise skulls that hangs from them. Each skull has open holes for the eyes and nose so that the darker green behind them  makes them look as if they are looking at you . The necklace measures 23" long with an additional 3 1/2" for the pendant drop. The pierced earrings are 3" long and are made of terra cotta and real feathers. One of a kind, this is such an interesting combination that you almost feel safe as if the spirits are with you when you wear this.   VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our Etsy pieces regardless of which site it comes from.All layaway payments will need to be in the form of a check or money order only.  Please remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect but they sure are full of old history and charm.
