New estate find



Trying to determine if this is NA or fake. There are no markings on the back, looks like there might be an old repair. Love the style. It reminds me of a cross, or a sword…the symbolism can lead you to endless places.

I wonder if it’s a married piece (two separate things combined together).

I can’t really see any separation or a place where it could be two pieces put together…it does seem to have a lot of solder on the lighter area of the back. I can feel the transition between the two. I wondered if it was just a reinforcement.

The bottom part is clearly a feather, a common design element in Navajo and NA- inspired pendants. Maybe this is the work of a beginner experimenting with found elements? Hard to attribute it to a Native maker, being devoid of mark or known background.
