Featured in this lot is this Sioux, grizzly bear claw and bone bead necklace. The necklace shows wonderful examples of authentic grizzly bear claws. There are nine claws in total, with double strands of bone tube beads and round blue glass beads spacing the bone beads. Grizzly bear claw necklaces have served as emblems of bravery. Revered for its ferocity and supernatural power, the grizzly bear was associated with both war and healing, and since ancient times, men have sought the animal’s spiritual help. The condition of this necklace is good, with no obvious signs of damage, and is in good, museum quality display condition. The measurements of the necklace from clasp to clasp are 28" and the approximate measurements of each claw are 2 1/4" long.
