    Description

    This listing is for a beautiful 10 strand handmade pen shell and coral heishi 10 strand necklace with sterling silver cones made by an unknown Native American artist from Kewa Pueblo.
    I purchased this directly from the well known Lilly Vigil Gallery in Nevada City, CA 2002 and it is like new condition with no defects.
    Lilly was a well respected Native American art dealer who herself was a Native woman from Kewa (formerly known as Santo Domingo) Pueblo, NM.
    The 10 strand necklace measures 26" to the tips of the cones plus another couple of inches of chain to adjust the length.
    The pen shell heishi is smooth and silky and the coral beads are undyed, as I was told.
    You can polish the silver up if you prefer (many prefer the silver to look aged as do I).
    Please ask all questions before bidding.

    Thank you!
