NecklaceD4.81

Silver, ‘squash blossom’ necklace. Najahe is cast from one bar, the two halves of the beads are soldered together, the design is stamped on. The "squash blossom" head, is believed by experts to be derived from either the flower or the immature fruit of the pomegranate. The beads are of an uncommon shape on this necklace. The najahe was formerly worn on a horse bridle. The Navajo took it from the Mexicans, who took it from the Spanish, who took it from the Moors. The najahe or naja is most distinctive for the Navajos.
