A WORK OF ART AND A LITTLE PIECE OF HISTORY.
"During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Native American artists often used scrap materials, including 78 rpm phonograph records, car battery casings (hard rubber), and red plastic dinnerware such as Dairy Queen spoons. This collectible, museum-quality tab necklace is a great example of Depression Era jewelry."

This vintage thunderbird necklace dates back to the 1940s. It’s a very unusual piece, featuring a mosaic inlay of a “bird,” crafted using resourceful materials like battery casing and gypsum, as well as tiny pieces of turquoise that might have been discarded in more prosperous times. The string of beads is adorned with small triangular tabs crafted from the same materials.
