Native American Sterling silver, coral, onyx, mother of pearl and turquoise inlay bracelet

Description : The symbolism of a woodpecker has many meanings in the Native American tradition. The American woodpecker has a signature red head with white and black details on his body. The sound he makes can be identified throughout the forest. The woodpecker drills into the tree and extracts bugs that are his food. This sound can be heard for miles. In the Native tradition is a recognizable sound that is sometimes likened to the heart beat of the earth. The image of a woodpecker means perseverance, determination, and represents a connection to the physical and spiritual realms of the universe. The Zuni were noted for their precise and masterful inlay jewelry pieces. The split wire cuff style bracelet was a way to make a wide bracelet light and comfortable to wear. The oval inlay is 40mm long by 30mm wide.
