"Like two sides of the same coin, Nurtured by Prayer wears both the masks of Sunset and Sunrise. They are sisters born of the same characteristics yet they remain unique. The headpiece of Sister Sunset bears the stars and the vastness of the universe while the headpiece of Sister Sunrise displays the radiance of the sun's rays from dawn to dusk. Sister Sunset wears the rays of sunlight upon her chin as she awakens during the last moments of day. Conversely Sunrise Sister has a star upon her as the last vestige of night fades into day. The sisters' mouths are extended in song softly and continually yielding praise and thanksgiving to our Creator." Joe Cajero Jr. Each earring is approximately 1 inch wide x 1 1/4 high, including the ear wire. All material is sterling silver. The symbols are in bas relief against an oxidized background. The dark background is more uniform than the images show; the camera picks up reflections that are generally not visible to the human eye. - New

Elizabeth James-Perry wampum earrings
EarringsElizabeth James-Perry wampum earrings A beautifully colored and shaped pair of wampum earrings by Wampanoag artist Elizabeth James-Perry. The artist selects her shells carefully and cuts and finishes them all by hand to preserve their attractive contours and colors. The contours are difficult to display in two-dimensional photographs, but they add a lot to the visual aesthetic when seen in person. Wampum has been used by coastal tribes for thousands of years. Items made from quahog shells, commonly called wampum, are culturally significant to New England tribes and are held in great esteem within families and within tribes. Perry hand selects each quahog shell for color and other qualities. Perry continues this traditional work form as a way of honoring her connection to her ancestors, their history, their way of life, and the ocean that sustains them. Shells are approximately 1 3/8" h x 1" w; 1/4" at their thickest. Materials: quahog shells, sterling silver ear wires$175.00
