Lot #52: First Nations Sterling Silver Pendant & Trade Beads Necklace

This beautiful statement necklace features a large, oval Sterling Silver pendant created and signed on the reverse with the mark "Kodi," identifying it as the work of the Kwakwakaʼwakw (Kwakiutl) artist. The pendant features intricate formline engraving of an animal crest, which is secured to a necklace composed of spherical, deep Cobalt Blue beads interspersed with cylindrical, patterned "Feather" Trade Beads. These "Feather" beads are historical, often Venetian-made, glass artifacts highly valued for their role in global trade with Indigenous communities. The piece thus presents a compelling and collectible blend of contemporary Northwest Coast silver artistry by a known First Nations maker and historical trade materials.
