Woman In The Moon Pin/Pendant (with Hinged Mask); Vintage

This is a beloved classic in a now discontinued series.  Here is Denise's description: "This design comes from a mask carved by both Eskimo and Athapaskan Natives.  The idea of the woman in the moon recalls our sister who became the moon. The hair parted in the middle and the design on the cheeks was added by our neighbors the Athapaskans. The first 'Woman in the Moon' that I made reminded me of my grandmother. As a result, I think of her through this design." (Arctic Transformations; the Jewelry of Denise and Samuel Wallace)  
Sterling Silver with sterling mask covering the face, which opens to reveal the inner face carved from fossil walrus tusk and detailed with scrimshaw.

About 1.5" tall and 1" wide.

Materials: Sterling Silver, Fossilized Walrus Tusk, Ink.
