Thunderbirds are powerful beings who create thunder and lightning, even calling forth life-giving rain. Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo) is known for the iconic thunderbird design often incorporated in jewelry creations by various artists. Joel Pajarito's colorful mosaic thunderbird pendant is artfully arranged from vibrant orange and purple spiny oyster shells, twinkling cultured opal, pen shell and refreshing turquoise pieces overlaid on a bed of iridescent mother-of-pearl. Slightly convex, the measurements of this pen shell-eyed delightful bird are about 2 3/8" long including the handmade sterling silver bale, 1 1/4" wide and 3/8" deep.
