[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2850210, member: 45"]It appears to be a contemporary crafts item, more in the "new age, spirit, shaman, pagan, wicca" category, than anything Native American. It doesn't remotely resemble an authentic Native American item, in its material, construction, or decorating techniques. As AJ pointed out, the added on "bear fetish" was probably purchased at a jewelry supply outlet, and is an import from China. It is just an attempt to make the whole thing look a little more "authentic." Where an item was purchased may have nothing to do with what it is, or where it came from.[/QUOTE]
