Measures 5-1/8" long, with an additional 1" gap. Could be bent to adjust to any small to medium sized wrist. Front measures almost 1" wide.

In the Hopi creation story he is credited with assisting the people when they traveled up from the Underworld by giving them food from his farm. Signed STERLING and Silver Arrow in script with an arrow symbol. This appears to be what is known as railroad jewelry, sold for the tourist trade until the 1950s.
