Artisans at Zuni Pueblo have mastered the technique of cutting turquoise in small sections and setting the pieces within silver strips to form an exquisite mosaic inlay pattern. This pair of post earrings illustrates such a technique. A single turquoise triangle covers the ear post and the larger triangle dangles from silver attachments. These are made for pierced ears.
Condition: very good condition
Provenance: these Zuni Pueblo Turquoise Mosaic Inlay Earrings are from a private collection
