Looking at such beauty tells the capabilities of Native American art! This piece of Native American jewelry is overlay hand crafted out of authentic sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual stunning overlay. In this pendant, the second layer forms a gorgeous buffalo design. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked.

The Buffalo is one of the most important animals to the people of the Plains and it is a great symbol to most Native Americans. The Plains Indians had developed life around the buffalo using it in many different ways. It was used for food, tools, shelter, warmth, and weaponry. To some, the Buffalo represents strength, stability, and prosperity.
