Zuni Pueblo Sun Face Petite Earrings Pair

This pair of earrings was made by an unidentified silversmith and lapidary artist from Zuni Pueblo. They are very petite, measuring only an inch in length. A round section conceals the silver post and contains a traditional Zuni sun face image that was assembled from turquoise, coral, jet, and mother of pearl. Suspended from this post is a triangular pendant in pyramidal shape hosting a triangular mother of pearl gemstone and three small triangular coral alternating with three triangular jet gemstones.

Condition: very good condition

Provenance: this Zuni Pueblo Sun Face Petite Earrings Pair is from the collection of a client of Adobe Gallery
