    I'm hoping this is a Native American pendant, perhaps Hopi, but so far I haven't found a similar mark.

    Thanks for any help.

    I think that's it @Roaring20s! Thank you!

    So, the THA mark is the shop mark and the other mark is the artist/artisan.

    Thanks again.

    No, this is how I'm interpreting it, this view and the red oval is the shop mark.

    Hopicrafts was not a shop, but an initiative. A bit like the "Hopi Silvercraft Cooperative Guild", which was founded about 15 years earlier, only more modest in its set up.

    I'm impressed with the collective knowledge of the group! I would not have seen "HC" in the mark but it matches the Hopi Crafts symbol.

    I would've had a tough time deciphering that symbol. May I ask how you saw 'HC' in that Roaring ?
    To me it almost looks like a hybrid of cuneiform & Chinese...and brainy folks here (as opposed to many forums)-actually give you the time of day. No offense 'Asian Art Forum'.

    Sometimes I can see abstract stuff like that, just not this time.

    I first thought it was Japanese, so I turned the text vertical for a translation, and nothing. But, one of the images in that image search had something like it next to a silversmith mark. I followed that path to learn more.

    Many here may know how to get different results from image searching. After searching the entire image, search different details from the same image. I have also removed busy backgrounds and searched again.

    Thanks for the tips Roar-a visual dissection & process of elimination.
