I stumbled upon this ring a few days ago. Since Native-American vintage jewelry is one of my favs, I was pretty excited!
My "googling" abilities has led me to believe that the bird is a spiritual symbol and known as a Peyote or Water Bird. I really like the arrows on the side and the fact that this ring is solid silver. I haven't weighed it yet but it's heavy.
I am guesstimating that the ring is from the 60's or 70's.
Any additional information is welcomed!
