This is a very typical pair of earrings of Navajo artistry. The cover over the silver post is typical of Navajo buttons and the squash blossom pendant is lifted directly from the squash blossom necklace. It is a perfect pair of earrings to wear along with an all-silver squash blossom necklace. There is no Diné of the Navajo Nation maker's signature or hallmark.


Condition: very good condition with minor scratches

Provenance: this Silver Earrings with Squash Blossom Pendant is from the collection of a client
