Vintage Native American long sterling shops silver bear box chain necklace

Product Name: Vintage Native American long sterling shops silver bear box chain necklace
Gorgeous yet simple Native American sterling silver necklace featuring a handcrafted bear strung on a long sterling silver box chain. Most Native American tribes revere the bear. Each tribe's cultural view of the bear varies; however, at the core, the bear represents authority, good medicine, courage, and strength. The bear is said to be a healer and protector. The bear is hollow but on the heavier side. The bear has two holes and is a slider type pendant. It is hollow inside. The chain is stamped "925 ITALY." The bear has no markings or stamps but tests as sterling silver. Chain is tested, too and comes back as sterling. The vintage bear has beautiful patina and so does the chain.
