Buffalo Head



Buffalo Head Pendant - 
made with alligator teeth and an agate stone point
The alligator makes a great ally and wearing this hand-made, one of a kind pendant, might make you feel like you have a connection with the creature. Alligators have tough, impenetrable hides. Alligators are patient opportunists. They've got all the knowledge they need to survive and they have been doing just that for millions of years.
And ancient African proverbs suggests that the best advice for survival comes from our ancestors, the crocodile.

This hand made, original, one-of-a-kind pendant will be sent in a specially - designed protective package. The arrow point in the center of the pendant was made of agate by a company that takes pride in mimicking ancient tribal points. I love the colors in this particular one so I soldered it with two of my best alligator teeth. One tooth on each side which together with the point, makes the shape of a buffalo head.




63/37 silver, pewter and lead solder was used on this creation and there is an enamel coating over the solder to protect the wearer and the metal. The solder has been treated with a patina before sealing to accent the textures which have been sanded down to a nice smooth finish, making it soft and pleasant to hold and touch.
