We may not always be available on weekends and/or holidays, but we will respond to your message, in the order it was received, when we return to the office. Old Southwestern Native American Indian turquoise, spiny oyster, abalone, mother of pearl, jet inlay Sterling silver Knifewing pin / brooch / pendant, hallmarked R (etched) by the Zuni artist.
This old beauty showcases a colorful mosaic beautifully channel inlaid. Unlike the more traditional Knifewing figures crafted in 8 sections, this one is a one piece mosaic, set in a smooth bezel box. This lovely pendant can accommodate chains that are less than 1/8 thick.
It weighs about 29.5 grams, and it's 2 3/4" tall, including the bale, by 2 7/8" wide, from wing tip to wing tip. A nice collector's item. Note: There's a tiny thin sleeve of jet chipped from lower wing tip on the left - hard to see and virtually unnoticeable when worn.Also the spiny oyster on the left leg has a hairline. All stones are secure in their bezels. Thank you for supporting authentic Native American art.
