I love this one! Its by Hopicraft Guild, probably 1960's or 70's. The work is extremely fine, very high quality. The tips are solid cones, they weigh an OUNCE alone. They're so heavy that they make this wonderful chime when they clink together, like an Arcosanti bronze bell :] I got $376 for it, went to Japan. Native American jewelry seems to be really popular with the Japanese, I send TONS of it over there.
