Cellicion, Zuni Sterling Silver Ladies Inlay Thunderbird Watch Tips | ||||||||
Paula says - "You are buying two watch tips. The mother of pearl inlay on this thunderbird changes from soft grey to bright white depending on how it catches the light. "We include at no extra charge an expansion band and the new timepiece pictured here. (Neither of these are sterling silver nor Native American made). The timepiece will be running when it leaves here. We are selling you the tips only - the timepiece and band are included free of charge, we make no warranty on the timepiece or band. With that said, I have never had one of these watches fail me, but then I don't wear my watch in the shower or while doing dishes."
Tips are 1" x 5/8" and inlaid with turquoise, coral, jet, and mother of pearl.

Peyote Bird, Water Bird or Thunderbird?The Water Bird is a symbol of the renewal of life, rainy seasons, rivers, distant travel, distant vision & wisdom. It is often also referred to as the Peyote Bird because the Water Bird plays a significant part in the Native American Indian Church Peyote meetings and, in fact, since the early 1900's has been the symbol of the NAC. The Peyote/Water Bird is not a Southwest tradition,
but one of the Plains Indians. The Peyote Bird is connected with lightning,
thunder and visions. Those who dream of the thunder beings will become Heyokas,
those who do things backwards, upside down, or opposite. This is a Lakota
way of being. It is part of the medicine of the Heyoka to remind us that we should
not take ourselves too seriously - that's why Heyoka is often translated as the
"sacred clown". |
