It features a necklace of hand-rolled turquoise beads with 1" sterling barrels flanked by sterling beads. Off-center (on the side) is Carlton's flagship hollow bear, his known design that he developed in the 1980's. The bear itself is approximately 2" x 1 1/8". The necklace is approximately 26" with a 6" extension that can elongate it to approximately 32". There are 6 - 1" sterling silver barrel beads flanked by smaller round beads on each side (total of 12). It is approximately 79.9 grams. Please refer to photos as part of the description. Exquisite workmanship resulting in striking Native art piece. We purchased this piece directly from Carlton in 1995 for gallery inventory. It has never been worn. Carlton was born in 1965 on the Zuni reservation where he has resided his entire life. He is a leader and promotor of Zuni arts and crafts. He began making jewelry in 1984 with the objective of transforming traditional Zuni designs into his vision of contemporary jewelry as art.
