Japanese Crow Yatagaratsu 925 Sterling Silver Necklace

One of the oldest symbols in Japanese mythology is the 3-legged Crow called Yatagarasu. The crow Yatagarasu (八咫烏) is a guiding god in Shinto. He is generally known for his three-legged figure and is often used to symbolize the will of Heaven or divine intervention in human affairs. Yatagarasu as a crow-god is a symbol specifically of guidance. This great crow was sent from heaven by Takamimusubi as a guide for legendary Emperor Jimmu on his initial journey from the region which would become Kumano to what would become Yamato (Yoshino and then Kashihara). Handmade by master artisans, the necklace measures are 37*13.9mm weights 4.31g for the pendant. The chains, in the respective options, are also made of 925 sterling silver, 1mm in thickness.
