Eagle Necklace White Brass Plated in Sterling Silv

The sixteenth piece of my 11th collection of Native American inspired jewelry. This necklace was made with a white brass base then plated in sterling silver. Initially it was carved from 4 different waxes, with great texture and lots of detail, then put together and cast as one solid piece. The front of the pendant features the wings spread, claws out reached, and measures 3 1/2" by 3" ... The back has been carved out to lighten the bird.... The chain measures 3mm's wide and is 20" in length wit
