Rosella and Loubert Soseeah's stunning pendant necklace honors the Six Directions. Long ago the Father of Medicine Societies, Po-shai-an-kia, established predatory animals as guardians of the Six Directions, acknowledged with a different color. Regarded as healing and protective, the animals are: Yellow Mountain-lion of the North, Blue Bear of the West, Red Badger of the South, White Wolf of the East, many colored Eagle of the Zenith (the heavens) and Black Mole of the Nadir (beneath the ground). The Lunasee's collectible directional necklace hosts exquisitely carved iridescent abalone animals, all with expressive eyes from turquoise inlays, except for the moles. They're laced with gorgeous turquoise, verdant malachite and sterling silver beads to a total length of roughly 38 1/2" long, which includes the 1" long silver tips. The hooked-bead raptor that's about 3/4" long, 2" wide and 3/8" deep clutches a segment of branch red coral. The other fabulous animals average from about 1/4" long to 5/8" long, 7/8" wide and 1 5/8" wide and 1/4" deep to 1/2" deep. Don't miss this affordable work of wearable art with much traditional meaning.
