Vintage Hopi Native Hummingbird Flower Sterling Silver Pin Brooch Exquisite carving details in very nice condition. We have came across an almost exact same piece by Bernard Dawahoya couple years ago. This piece is not signed, so it could be from the master himself, or one of his pupils.
It measures about 1-3/4" x 1-1/4", and weighs solid 12.7g. All items, unless stated otherwise, are previously loved and used.Therefore, they inevitably have scratches and slight imperfection (not brand new). We could miss dents/cracks and such imperfections are not included in the description wordings, simply because we didn't notice.
Please refer to pictures for condition as it is exactly what you will get. We describe the items to the best of our ability, but please note: size and weight are approximate only. "Vintage" is based on look and feel of the item.
It could be way older (earlier than 1930's), or it could be newer (later than 1980's or 1990's). Sometimes sterling jewelry could be chrome plated. It is still sterling if it is marked so. We tested all our jewelries. We are not experts on stones. Potential buyers please refer to pictures on type and quality of stones and make your best judgement. Our description is just a guidance.We name an item "southwestern" if it is of southwestern style. It applies to items origins of which we are not completely sure.
In most cases, they are from tribes such as Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, etc. We name an item "sterling" if it is tested to be at least coin (90%) silver.
