This feather is carved pretty good, details could be better though, but ok. The size is wonderful! It's a great big feather! It's about 2-2 1/2 inches long! That's very long for a bone pendant. It's about a half inch wide. I only wish it's detailing was a little more clear, and the polish was smoother. It's not well polished like other bone pendants I own. Usually they are polished shiney smooth like glass. This one is not. However it is carved (continued) on both sides, so it is two-sided. The feather looks realistic that way throughout. That is cool. It comes on a thin string (I can't call it a cord) that is not a finished necklace. It is untied on the ends so they left it so you can finish it off the way you like which is ok if you want. I still recommend it because of the price for a pendant this size. It's unbeatable! I can't beleive the price! I am already recieving compliments on it!
