Artist Bio:”Michael Little Elk was raised in South Dakota on the Rosebud Reservation where he was fortunate enough to learn the traditions of his Native Lakota-Sioux culture.”’Raised on the reservation by his grandmother, this creative jeweler lived in the southwest, with his Navajo wife. However, his beautifully detailed, hand-wrought pieces reflect his Plains heritage in subject matter. He liked to accent his silver work with gold details, and create variety with polish, texture, darkened silver, etc. Horses and horsemen were favorite subjects, as were el warriors, and narratibe pieces depicting Lakota lore.’ His jewelry and sculptures have been included in the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and numerous galleries around the United States. I try my best to give accurate descriptions- HOWEVER, I SELL MOSTLY USED ITEMS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIST EVERY SMALL FLAW… IF SOMETHING IS OBVIOUS AND AFFECTS THE VALUE-IT WILL BE NOTED.

Being an artisan product, Amira di Transilvania, WITHOUT additional costs, can create similar jewels PERSONALIZING THEM according to the needs, the desires and the tastes of the individual customer. 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. The Bijoux is composed of a sequence of red, white and black elements of different shapes and sizes, ending with a red cylinder and a golden sphere from which hangs a large white and black eagle feather. 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. Amira Munteanu Bergmann has taken care of the whole production process of the Jewel: from the concept to the creation of the various components, from their assembly to their coloring and decoration. Being a work completely signed by Amira di Transilvania, it is a 100% Made in Italy and handcraft product. For its realization it took 25 hours of work.
