700 year old pendant

I did this work a while ago but finally got around to putting it on Etsy. I love being able to take something that is so old (800+ years old) and turning it back into art. The ultimate in recycling beauty. This goes way beyond vintage :)

700 - 900 year old Anasazi Native North American Indian Pottery shard in a Sterling Silver, and Fine Silver Mount. This one is probably in the 700 year old range.

The potter shards with the finger impressions are the oldest.

This piece can be worn anywhere, showers included and are free of charge. :)

This is a legally attained piece of pottery.
Size 1" diameter (25mm)

This latter pottery shard was created by using finger nails of the artist. The indians used this technique for a while before they figured out how to paint on the clay. This one is thought to be at least 900 years old.

Both of these have been listed on my etsy site now.

it is so amazing even if the piece is so small it still survived all those years.
Off to look at them in your shop:)
