Inlaid on jet. Signed on the back by Mary Tofoya. It is inlaid on jet with turquoise, coral, pipestone, serpentine, gaspeite and jet. The necklace is 20 inches long. 4mm in diameter, made from melo shell with accents of jet, pipestone and turquoise. The pendant is 2.25 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.
The pendant is a rectangle of inlay set on jet, with a small tab of sky-blue turquoise rising above one top corner. Inside the dark frame, bars and blocks of turquoise, gaspeite, coral, pipestone, serpentine and jet are laid side by side, so the eye moves from sky blue to lime green, orange-red, a long bar of dark red, deep green, and a few pale yellow and gray pieces. It hangs from a strand of small melo shell beads in a warm cream color, broken up by beads of black jet, pipestone and turquoise. The light strand stays quiet and lets the bright pendant sit at the center of the neckline, over a plain top or a simple dress.
The signature on the back is Mary Tofoya's. Like all the jewelry sold here, it is the handwork of a Native American artist, in natural stone and shell that were cut and polished by hand; the shop belongs to the Indian Arts and Crafts Association.
