A sterling silver brooch in the Southwestern Native American tradition, shaped as a thunderbird with wings outspread. Each part of the bird — head, body, wings, tail — is set with sky-blue turquoise, framed in silver bezels with small beadwork and spiral accents. The whole piece carries the old power of the motif: the thunderbird, bringer of rain and storm. A pin-and-clasp back, made to wear at the collar or lapel.
Iconic and talismanic — turquoise and silver in the oldest of desert forms.
