Description

My Desert Mimbres Rabbit necklace is perfect for a desert lover. The rabbit is wood-burned on an oval gourd shard that measures four inches by 3 inches. The gold-painted rabbit stands on a textured background of green and gold created by Alcohol inks.

This piece reflects the beauty of the spring desert, showcasing a jack rabbit inspired by pottery from the Mimbres Valley of New Mexico. The tribe’s black-on-white pottery often depicted stylized humans and animals, with the jackrabbit being a food staple for them. You can still encounter these elusive creatures during early morning walks in the desert. My necklace celebrates this desert experience using antique brass accents and gold paint.

The necklace hangs from your neck at 11 inches with an antique tone chain with lovely brass and gold textured glass beads. There are also tiny translucent green and gold beads. The interesting beads turn this simple design into a delightful handmade piece of wearable art.  Enjoy wearing this piece on any outfit, attracting the attention of the other jewelry in the room.
