Caribou Pin/Pendant with Sugilite by Denise Wallace

Caribou Pin/Pendant with Sugilite by Denise Wallace, Limited Edition #72/200, Circa 1995

A handsome vintage piece in as-new condition. The deep purple Sugilite is a particularly good stone.

Denise's description: "This design represents a caribou transformation.  The caribou has a mask that opens to reveal a human face underneath.  The idea is that the animals have a similar spirit to us, which is depicted as a human face (the yua, or inua).  This piece also has the bladder design.  A bladder often appears because it is believed to be the area of the animal that holds the spirit."  Limited Edition #72/200.  

About 2" wide; 2.25" tall. This classic piece wears beautifully as a horizontal pendant, and makes a great lapel pin.
