This large satin-finished pendant was a collaboration between Hopi Silversmith, Merle Namoki and Hopi Artist and Activist, Ed Kabotie, entitled "Rumble on the Mountain".  Merle provided us with the story behind the design. "Rumble on the Mountain is a drawing depicting the earthquake which occurred in Flagstaff during the first season of artificial snow making with reclaimed water on the San Francisco Peaks (2014-2015).  The drawing is redemptive, showing cleansing rains washing out the artificial snow while the songs of the warrior twins and the chorus of male frogs (whose births are threatened by the endocrine disruptors present in the reclaimed water) inspire the movement of Avanyu.  The serpent's movement rumbles the earth to warn people of the danger of disregarding the Wisdom of the Natural Order."
This piece measures 1 3/4 by 2 5/8 inches and carries Merle's Rising Sun hallmark and clan symbol on the reverse side.  An incredibly powerful piece!
