Unsigned Native American End Of The Trail Pewter Turquoise Bead Necklace

Unsigned necklace featuring End of the Trail pendant and beaded chain. There is an dangling feather charm at the end of the spear. The pendant is most likely made of pewter. It does not test for silver, gold or platinum. Also, it's not magnetic, so it's not nickel. The chain is made of various pewter and turquoise beads. There is no test for turquoise but they are cold to the touch and appear to be authentic. End of the trail most commonly refers to the iconic sculpture by James Earle Fraser, depicting a weary Native American man and his horse at the end of their journey, symbolizing the decline of Native American culture due to westward expansion. It has become a powerful symbol in American art and culture, representing both the tragedy of displacement and the end of a way of life.
