Silver ring, Native American Indian head with carved face and large abalone (paua) feather headdress

Hypoallergenic 925 ‰ silver ring. The surface is partially burnished to highlight the decoration, and it is neither treated nor plated so it guarantees its beauty over the years.
The feathers are of abalone paua shell. The feathers we often see in American Indian headdresses have the meaning of freedom and strength, two closely related qualities. A warrior's valor was measured by the number of eagle feathers on his headdress - whoever had many had leadership roles.
