Beaver-shaped silver pendant. The pendant has a hole punched at the tip of the nose with a ring affixed for hanging. The metal is slightly textured to evoke fur and four webbed feet. The rounded back is stamped "R" in cursive in a square with an over-stamped mark below it that reads "RC" with other letters and scrollwork.
