Third in Wings’s Firebird series: this one, embodying the identity and appearance of the red-tailed hawk who presides over the air currents. A single large, flawlessly red triangle of rosarita fans out in the shape of the tailfeathers that give the hawk her name. Bezel-set and trimmed with twisted silver, it hangs suspended, via a hand-made bail studded with stylized hearts, from a strand of gemstone beads in the colors of the hawk’s robe: fiery red sponge coral; glossy black onyx; Picasso marble in gray-white and gold; and warm translucent shades of russet brown olivella-shell heishi in two graduated sizes.The strand of beads is 18 inches long; the pendant hangs 1-5/8 inches long (including bail), and is 1-1/8 inches across at the widest point; the cabochon is 1-1/8 inches long by one inch across at the widest point (dimensions approximate).
