Kingman Naja

Kingman Naja

$425.00

The inverted crescent pendant on squash-blossom necklaces, called the 'Naja' by the Navajo,  is found in various design forms throughout world cultures.  As a crescent, this form goes back as far as the Paleolithic period. Through contact with either the Spanish and/or the various Plains Tribes, the Navajo adopted the symbol of the inverted crescent for their horses.  The Naja was put on the horse headstall, the front center band of the horse bridle, and later, the Naja moved into the realm of necklaces.  

This Naja pairs nicely with the Collectors Bead Strands (sold separately).
