Unsigned Ellen Quandelacy Hummingbird Brooch Zuni Turquoise Sterling Silver Vtg

  

Unsigned Ellen Quandelacy Hummingbird Brooch Pin Zuni Turquoise Sterling Silver Early. Attributed to Zuni Artist Ellen Quandelacy due to early age of piece and design. Featuring the iconic "hummingbird" pattern that originated from Ellen. Gorgeous genuine turquoise stones masterfully cut to create the beautiful curved and mirrored inlay.

Earlier Quandelacy piece due to long pin back extending past the brooch and patina shown on back of the brooch. Notice the absence of Turquoise in the tips of the curved swirls; this is an exclusive characteristic of Ellen's craftsmanship and artistry which further attributes the piece to her rather than anyone else in the Quandelacy family.
