Description
Watson Honanie created this pendant and earring set by overlaying 14k image of a Bear Paw on sterling. As a member of the Bear Clan, the bear paw is Watson’s hallmark.
In Hopi culture, the bear paw is a powerful symbol associated with the Bear Clan, one of the traditional clans within the Hopi social structure. The bear is revered for its strength, courage, and protective qualities, and the bear paw specifically represents these attributes. It often symbolizes healing, as the bear is believed to possess medicinal knowledge and the ability to find healing herbs. The bear paw can also signify leadership and guidance, reflecting the bear’s role as a guardian and protector of the land and its people.
The pendant and earrings measure approximately 1 3/8″ high by 7/8″ wide at the widest point. The earrings dangle from a 14k post.
