Vintage layered double strand Heishi and MOP Zuni fetish bird necklace

In excellent vintage condition. This necklace is a beautiful, handcrafted piece featuring a double strand of liquid sterling silver chain with heishi-style beads interspersed with small, colorful mother of pearl bird-shaped beads. The evenly spaced birds come in a variety of pastel and earthy tones, including shades of blue, pink, green, purple, cream, and terracotta. The necklace appears to be inspired by Native American jewelry, particularly the Zuni fetish style, which often incorporates animal figures symbolizing spiritual significance. Barrel clasp. 25”-26”
