Specifically the Santo Domingo tribe would create Thunderbirds out of silver and during the Great Depression these precious metals were too expensive to create art with so they started using batteries, seashells, plastic bits, and anything else that they could find to create the Thunderbird necklaces. These pieces were known as “battery birds.” Usually the battery birds are red, white, and blue. This is the first time a battery bird is seen through a pan African lens.
