The bison or American Buffalo is revered by many Native American Tribes. Some see it as a symbol of strength and endurance. This necklace features an array of bison fetishes (small carvings typically made for ceremonial purposes.) The creator made use of turquoise, spiny oyster shell, mother of pearl, onyx, and a variety of natural stones.
