This is a more conventional piece ... It's a prayer feather. They are used in Native American ceremonials for a variety of purposes, but most often for directing the smoke from a smudge bowl.
 Detail of the beadwork:

I'd mentioned in Doodad's that I make dreamcatchers. Some of them are large, some of them are tiny. This is a tiny one. The circle is a wooden hoop with an interior diameter of one inch. The wood is covered in beadwork, divided by lines representing the four directions. The Web is formed out of the same beading thread that the beads are attached to the circle with. It's about the same thickness as common sewing thread. The stones on the necklace are turquoise chips.
