Tawa the Father Sun is the central figure on this piece by Silversmith, Chris Mansfield . Tawa looks over all living things including the birds of the skies, like this parrot attached to the bottom of the piece. One legend of the parrot credits it with bringing color into the world. Another says that parrots acted as early “watch dogs” for the tribes, alerting them to intruders. This highly polished pendant measures 1 inch by 1 5/8 inches and has Chris initials stamped on the reverse side.
