Textured Bighorn Sheep Necklace

The bighorn sheep is an iconic symbol of the west. Wild, free and ruggedly independent, the sheep represents one of the most enduring characteristics of the American identity. Because many native cultures saw the bighorn sheep as a food source, the animals were considered sacred. They were associated with the sky and were often viewed as guardian spirits. They are commonly depicted across the American West on panels of Native American petroglyphs. This big horn sheep is represented in sterling silver and includes an 18 inch sterling silver chain. One of a kind made one at a time in Arizona.
