Wallace, Denise Sterling Silver MMIW Pin/Pendant

Wallace, Denise

This sterling silver handmade pin and pendant was made by Denise Wallace as a tribute to “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW).” The title of this piece is “MMIW MASK” and was made in 2021 using sterling silver, 14k gold, and fossilized ivory. A portion of the sale will be donated to assist MMIW.

The red hand symbolizes the connection between the physical world and the spiritual world. Native Americans believe that the dead can see red, so by wearing red we invoke the help of our ancestors and spiritual guides. nativehope.org
