Diné Sterling Silver Elongated Squash Blossom Earrings [SOLD]

This unusual pair of earrings features the traditional pomegranate blossom—commonly called a squash blossom—endings seen on Navajo necklaces but there is an added “drum“ encircling the plume. They are an exquisite pair of earrings and are in excellent condition.

Provenance: From the estate of Transcendental artist Florence Pierce of Albuquerque who passed away in 2007 at the age of 89. She was best known for luminescent paintings made of pigmented resins on reflective surfaces. Her interest in abstraction began in the 1930s when she was an associate of the Transcendental Painting Group. The New York Times called her “the doyenne of abstract art in the Southwest” following her art exhibit in New York City in 2006.
