Native American Zuni Sterling Silver, Inlaid, Sun Face Pendant & Pin

Jewelry : Artisan

 

This amazing pendant or pin, besides being versatile enough to be worn as both, is a very nice creation by Phyllis Lonjose, a Native American jewelry maker from the Zuni Reservation in New Mexico. This very lovely piece of inlay work has been signed too, but is regrettably not very easy to read. I do however guarantee that this piece is authentic Zuni jewelry, as anything sold on the reservation there, has to be the real thing. Reproductions, imports, copies and fakes are strictly not allowed and the Indians take this very seriously indeed. This beautiful piece measures about 1'' in diameter, and is made of sterling silver, stabilized turquoise, jet, red coral and mother of pearl. Thank you for your interest in this very lovely work of art.
