Navajo Sterling Silver & Turquoise Naja Pendant on matching Bead Necklace. Condition is very good. Pendant tested as sterling. The beads do not, so are possibly ultra-polished or silver plated steel (the beads are attracted by a magnet). Please view all the photos in the picture gallery as they represent this item very well.About the Naja symbol:With probable Paleolithic origins, the inverted crescent form (called Naja by the Navajo) has represented the Phoenician goddess of fertility, Astarte, and is mentioned in the Book of Judges among the "ornaments on camels' necks." The Moors - who dominated Spain for eight centuries - adopted the crescent as a horse's bridle ornament, to protect the horse and rider from "the evil eye". The Spanish then brought the idea to the Americas in the late 16th century.
