A wild man, also called \u003cem\u003eGaagiid\u003c\/em\u003e, is a wild being of the woods who has gone through a near-drowning at sea or has become lost on the land. His fate ultimately leads to a lonely, untamed existence, hence becoming a 'wild man.' \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Haida story is further brought to life by Jesse's brilliant and sculpture-like abilities in repoussé, chasing, and inlay. These technical terms refer to specific jewelry-making processes where metal is entirely shaped by hand through meticulous hand-hammering. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRepoussé refers to the metalwork done on the back of the piece to create volume and depth, while chasing refers to work done on the front of the jewelry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sterling silver, abalone shell inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique: Repoussé, chasing, and hand-engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 2 inches tall x 1.5 inches wide (5 cm x 3.8 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe display chain is a 7mm wide sterling silver curb chain (24 inches long)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: Jesse Brillon is a Haida master jewelry artist from the Laana T'saadas Eagle clan.

Brillon's work is widely known along the Northwest Coast, and he is highly regarded as a leading artist in this niche art form. Jesse has exhibited his work both at home and internationally, at the Haida Gwaii Museum, the Bill Reid Art Gallery, and the Santa Fe Indian Art Market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/pages\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e to inquire about this one-of-a-kind Jesse Brillon original. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee more artwork by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/collections\/jesse-brillon\" title=\"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/collections\/jesse-brillon\"\u003eJesse Brillon\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/collections\/pendants\"\u003eHaida pendants, necklaces\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/collections\/gold-silver-copper-products\" title=\"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/collections\/gold-silver-copper-products\"\u003eHaida jewelry collection\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Cabin Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48824178376961,"sku":null,"price":11018.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/5331\/0253\/files\/sterling-silver-haida-pendant-jesse-brillon-wild-man-frontal-1.jpg?v=1779341707","url":"https:\/\/www.crystalcabingallery.com\/en-us\/products\/sterling-silver-wild-man-haida-pendant-by-jesse-brillon","provider":"Crystal Cabin Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
