ROLLING LOG / SWASTIKA. 22 STERLING CHAIN NECKLACE. 16.3g STERLING SILVER. THE SWASTIKA DESIGN INDICATES IT WAS MADE BEFORE 1940. The symbol became a very popular design element representing good luck and was prevalent in period architecture, advertising, jewelry, and on good luck tokens. The Arizona Highway Department even used it as part of their emblem. Because of its popularity, traders encouraged Indian artists to use it on their crafts made for sale to the tourist trade.

THE HOPI STYLE EAGLE FEATHER JEWEL. The Hopi Eagle Feather Jewel is a unique and original necklace of ethnic-tribal style created and painted by hand by Amira Munteanu Bergmann taking inspiration by the stylistic and aesthetic canons typical of Native Americans belonging to the Hopi tribe.

Being a handmade product. On the one hand, its various components do not have a regular shape, on the other hand there can never be a jewel identical to this. The eagle is one of the most sacred animals for Native Americans. Warriors of many tribes wore one or more of its feathers that were sometimes cut, colored or otherwise decorated with some discretion of the bearer, but always according to canons shared within the community. The war headdress of the plains tribes was made of eagle feathers. Being very appreciated and requested, you could spend up to the price of a pony for a tail perfectly made with 12 “war” eagle feathers. Among the Hopi the eagle, not only had many sacred values and was a deity, the Eagle Kachina, but was also the protagonist of the particular myth of the eagle-man. According to this belief, during the devastation the hero kills the villain and is brought home into the sky by eagles of different species. The Hopi Eagle Feather Necklace is part of a collection of ethnic Jewels and Pendants inspired by the traditions and aesthetics of specific tribes, more or less ancient, from various parts of the world. The Project aims to rediscover and enhance the identity and peculiarities of local cultures through the revival and reinterpretation of ethnic jewelry, talismans, amulets to counter the megatrend of communication, of the uprooting/disembedding, of the loss of the memory of the past, triggered and fed by the ideology of globalization. Within ancient tribal cultures, everything worn, especially during religious ceremonies, was cloaked in an aura of mystery and sacredness. Consequently, the jewels, although also having a decorative and ornamental function, first of all, were thought to have deep symbolic and magical values linked to religion and superstition. To remain faithful to this spirit and since in the realization of ceremonies and magical rituals are fundamental not only the gestures that are performed and the formulas that are pronounced but also the tools that are used, the creation of this mini-sculpture has followed a specific path in tune with the secret rules of the Arcane in order to load it with appropriate energies.
