Description: This is a stunning older Zuni inlay pin, featuring a thunderbird design. It is set with coral, turquoise, mother of pearl, black oynx, and shell. Has a nice, hefty feel to it, with some nice silver-work, so it may have been a Zuni - Navajo collaboration (this was common among silversmiths who did work for C.G. Wallace for example). Tested as being sterling silver.
 
Maker: Zuni inlay by style and possibly Navajo on the silver (see above).
 
Approx. Age: Circa 1950s - 60s vintage. 
 
Size: Measures approx. 2 1/8" wide X 1 5/8" long. Weighs 20.6g.  
 
Condition: Good for its age. Normal wear and minor imperfections expected on used and vintage items.
