Sterling & Bronze Soaring Bird Hoops

Lovely hand cast bronze hoops lend an organic touch and a perch to tiny sterling birds. The birds are fetishes from the Zuni tribes in the American southwest. They believe these winged creatures symbolize the human soul and consider their flight to be representative of the soul’s journey in pursuit of higher knowledge.

Birds are generally considered a link between the earth and heaven, symbolic of transcendence and eternal life. With their ability to roam the earth as well as soar up to the sky, birds symbolize freedom, and they are considered messengers of the gods for their proximity to the heavens.
