Zuni Pueblo artists are known for their fine lapidary work. These mid-century earrings are an example of how a talented Zuni artist has deftly cut and shaped small pieces of turquoise and set them with small twisted wire accents to create a classic pair of pueblo earrings. The bottom pendant with seven snake eye stones hangs by a handmade link from a single stone surrounded by a twisted wire frame. These earrings were crafted with patience and precision. They are unsigned.
Condition: The Zuni Earrings with Seven Small Snake Eye Stones and Twisted Wire are in very good condition. Age and wear have given them a lovely patina.
Provenance: The Southwest Indian Jewelry come from a gentleman collector in Colorado.
