This is a vintage Ted Wadsworth (Hopi Native American) thunderbird pin. It's made of sterling silver and turquoise. The pin is 1-1/8" x 1-3/16" and is signed with Ted Wadsworth's rabbit stick mark along with the Hopi guild mark. This piece is made in the Hopi overlay tradition. If you look closely, you'll see the background (to the cutouts) is etched with hashmarks before it was oxidized. There is dark patina on the silver from age, and normal marks from being preowned. The pin tested positive in a JSP silver acid test. I don't clean the jewelry other than a wipe down before taking pictures. I have no control over it, or the ability to remove it.
