this is one of my favorite pieces i made in my jewelry class. i took my inspiration from Aztecan art and jewelry along with Spanish jewelry. the design is similar to a dog tag or should i say Wolf tag -giggles- the backing is made from nickle silver, the wolf is made from three different metals head is made from copper body made from nickle silver and lower body/W tail is made from brass all side by side soldered. wolf soldered to the backing. I'm happy to say this has stayed with me through out the years and not planning on losing this one either
