This beautifully hand beaded choker necklace is made with hundreds of tiny size 11/0 Cz seed beads in the traditional Thunderbird pattern. It has red, black, white, and yellow beads on a green background.

The thunderbird is a supernatural bird of power and strength richly depicted in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, and is found in various forms among the peoples of the American Southwest and Great Plains.

The Thunderbird's name comes from the common belief that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind.

This thunderbird hand beaded choker necklace measures 3.6 inches (11.4 cm) from the top of the choker band to the bottom of the drops. The choker band is 1 3/8" (3.8 cm) wide and the length is adjustible from 13.5 TO 17.2 inches. (34.3 cm to 43.7 cm).

Matching beaded earrings are included. The earrings are 1" wide (2.54 cm) by 3.25" long ( 8.3 cm), not counting the hypo-allergenic french ear wires.
