Offered in this lot is a Large Mare & Foal Alpaca Silver Gold & Copper Alloy Pendant from Lakota Sioux artist Armand American Horse. Set against a backdrop of the South Dakota Badlands with their majestic spires and plateaus, the oval shaped Gold & Copper alloy mare & foal are running in the foreground, Alpaca Silver stamped bail at the top. Turkey feathers are stamped on the upper portion of the pendant, the feather design is repeated at the bottom as well. Turkeys play a variety of roles in the folklore of different Native American tribes. In some legends, Turkey is portrayed as a wily, overly-proud trickster character. In others, he is shy and elusive. For 11,000 years, Native Americans have used this area for their hunting grounds. Long before the Lakota were the paleo-Indians, followed by the Arikara. The Lakota people were the first to call this place "mako sica", which translates to literally, "badlands". Extreme temperatures, lack of water, and the exposed rugged terrain led to this name. French-Canadian fur trappers called it "les mauvaises terres pour traverser," or "bad lands to travel through." By one hundred and fifty years ago, the Great Sioux Nation consisting of seven bands including the Oglala Lakota, had displaced the other tribes from the northern prairie. This Large Mare & Foal Alpaca Silver Gold & Copper alloy pendant is in good overall condition, the detailing is impressive, and no obvious marring noted. Measures 2.25"W x 3.25"L including the bail.
