FRAMED NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEF SCRIMSHAW NECKLACE Lynn Benade (Native American, Lakota). This necklace was custom made at the request of the consignor. The artist (Lynn Benade) was asked to create a turquoise and ivory scrimshaw necklace to possess the 5 Native Americans whom she felt were the most influential and historically significant. To this request, she set out to create this magnificent work of art. The 5 slices of scrimshaw ivory tusk are each set in sterling silver bezels and joined by a 3-strand Natural Turquoise necklace. The 5 Native American leaders she chose are as follows (clockwise from top right) - Geronimo, Chief Joseph, Chief Eagle, Red Cloud, and Sitting Bull. Each scrimshaw work is signed and dated by the artist. The necklace took more than a year to deliver and exhibits unbelievable attention to detail and a mastery of skill. This is a truly unique piece of history and art. Size: 42"
