Crafted in Oregon, USA of pure high-quality pewter. This is about 1 inch tall, with the design on the front side only.

The buffalo (bison) stands in a wilderness setting, with mountains in the background. This is a high quality item, ready to hang as its own necklace item or surrounded by pipe beads or other beads in a more elaborate necklace. Another great offering from Primitive Originals Beads.

Pewter is an alloy consisting of mainly tin and containing antimony for strength and copper for coloring. Although vessels made of it have been dated about 3500 years ago, it really was developed by the Romans in England during their presence there (the Roman Empire). After a few hundred years of a virtual monopoly by England, it migrated to Europe, then to the American colonies. At first, American pewter was reworked items obtained damaged from Europe; later reformulation worldwide (substituting antimony for lead) made a safer, more beautiful, and more durable metal. Its easy care, beautiful coloring, and long life have established it as one of the important jewelry components today.
