Description

Vintage. Old Store Stock Inventory. 1980s Sterling Silver Miniature Howling Coyote Sun Design Pierced Earrings. In Excellent Condition. Made in Arizona, USA.

Very cute Sterling Silver miniature Howling Coyote earrings. Earrings are on posts. The coyote has a detail of a stamped sun on its side and it is wearing a scarf around the neck with the mouth open. One is a little shorter than the other. The earrings are hand crafted.

The sun on jewelry typically means it certifies that the item is made of sterling silver, and the SUN logo identifies the maker. In this case, the SUN is the manufacturer’s mark. It is also letting us know it is made of Sterling Silver. The sun on this jewelry is its stamp or hallmark for the artist. The Coyote, in the mythology and folklore of the North American Plains, California, and Southwest Indians, was the chief animal of the age before humans. For the indigenous peoples of the Americas, the coyote is very sacred. The Coyote is said to be particularly insightful and possessed of great stealth. I always feel special if a Coyote walks by my yard and I can get a photo of one which is rare.

Measures 1/2 inches tall and 5/8 inches wide. The studs and backs are Hypo Allergenic surgical steel. Closure is Butterfly.
