Vintage Zuni, Hopi, Navajo Indian Silver Overlay Thunderbird Pin Turquoise Inlay

  
From a Green Valley, Arizona collector's estate. Very fine vintage Thunderbird pin a VERY unique stylized Thunderbird! Although made with silver overlay technique which is typically a signature of Hopi silver work, the use of turquoise inlay points to a Zuni or Navajo silversmith. Notice side profile: this pin is thicker than most and has some weight and a good "feel".
