Traditional antiquity styled Thunderbird pendants. Our Thunderbird necklace is native made, with Kingman turquoise center. These pendants have some significant meaning. According to Native legends, Thunderbirds are described as a supernatural being, and a symbol of power and strength that protected humans from evil spirits. The Thunderbird of the Sioux People was a noble creature that protects humans from the Unktehila, who were dangerous reptilian monsters. Great on our charm stack necklaces! These measure about 1.5 inchs across.
