This very large handmade set highlights the significance of the incredible balance found in every part of the natural world all around us. Amakehs (the butterfly) are well respected and adored throughout Native America, not only for their strikingly incomparable beauty but also for their contributions to pollination. During the Spring and Summer months butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and many other pollinators work hard and supply fertilization to the entire food chain. The medallion and earrings set showcases the beauty of the creatures as they feed on the sweet blossoms in the berry patch. Made with Miyuki Delica beads, acrylic resin cabochons, double rows of AB rhinestone banding, crystal embellishments, backed with willow brain-tanned buckskin and signed by the artist, the magnificently detailed set not only serves as striking wearable art pieces but also connects the wearer to the rich legacy of Indigenous craftsmanship and culture.
