In traditional Southwestern lore, people would tie sinew strands in a web around a small round frame and hang this dream-catcher as a charm to protect sleeping children from nightmares. Legend is the good dreams pass through the center spirit hole and the nightmares get caught in the web. Fashioned from sterling silver this dream-catcher dangles from a 16inch to 20inch L sterling box chain with spring ring clasp. Dream catcher has a sterling feather dangle. Made in New Mexico, USA.
