Northwestern Indigenous Peoples Hand Painted Turtle on Abalone Shell Necklace

Description

I was working in Vancouver on a show in the late 90's and bought this piece in one of the Indigenous People Shops in town. I really like the size and subject mater of the sea turtle. I have used this on my shows and worn it myself to many compliments. The hand woven leather necklace is 18 inches long. A great collectable with a Hollywood Past. Time for a new home.
