An amulet bag is a perfect gift for a friend - you can slip something nice inside. It's a perfect gift for yourself too - keeping something inside close to your heart.

2.5 x 1.75 inches, featuring metal beads and a hand-carved bird.

The necklace is waxed cotton cord, and is adjustable by sliding the knots along the cord to the length best for you.

I purchased the fetish bird many years ago, probably at a bead and gem show. 

I'm pretty sure it's hand-carved. As for the stone, I uploaded its photo to Google, and here's the answer:

"This specific form is a traditional Southwestern style—often called a Zuni-style water bird or directional bird fetish. It features a minimalist, streamlined profile, a straight incised line along the body to hint at a wing, and a drilled hole for the eye. Because it is styled as a single freestanding fetish or standalone pendant bead rather than a mass-produced component for a multi-strand necklace, it is often treated as an individual pocket token, amulet, or central pendant piece.

• Texture & Luster: The glassy sheen visible on the polished surfaces matches the microcrystalline structure of quartz-family minerals like jasper and agate.
• Coloring: The distinct salmon-pink base layered with irregular, creamy-white splotches and veins is a hallmark of mottled pink jasper varieties.

My amulet bags were woven on a floor loom, then hand-sewn, dyed, and painted.

The final step was adding beaded embellishment, and a necklace cord.

Each of my amulet necklaces are made individually - so although some are similar, there are no two exactly alike.
