Native American Navajo Made Cross

This cross pendant comes from the Spaniards. In the 1600s the Conquistadors wore these pendants for protection. They also had them on their horses to protect the horse and rider. The Natives adopted this piece because it reminded them of the North Star. It was not until later, that they adopted it as a Christian symbol as well. This cross was created using the sand casting method by an unknown Navajo silversmith and comes on a twenty inch long chain.
