Vintage Southwestern Indigenous Solid Silver Intricate Whale Pendent Charm

Indigenous artwork often incorporates figures and animals that are related to crest symbols. Crests have been passed down through families and have varying meanings depending on the context and association with a nation, clan, or family.

Killer Whale is a common crest and being among many groups up and down of the Northwest Coast, and one of the most prevalent depictions in the artwork. Killer Whale’s familial bonds and skillfulness in teamwork can oftentimes lead to associations with communication, family, unity, and travel.
