This Santo Domingo necklace features a thunderbird with 4 diamond shapes forming a unique design, and tabs that have 2 white stripes. During the depression, things were tight everywhere, but in the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo in New Mexico, they got very resourceful by recycling things that would normally be thrown away, into an art form. They are made from recycled car battery cases, turquoise chips, and plastic spoons and forks (most notably from Dairy Queen). They also feature handcrafted beads made with gypsum scraps from the nearby mines. These necklaces have become highly collectable, and are all one of a kind. Santo Domingo necklaces are some of the earliest forms of repurposed art and this one was made by a particularly gifted and inspired artist. Length of necklace approximately 26", and will easily fit over the head. Bird is 2" wide.
