The foundation of this ring is an oval silver platform scored on the edges with thin line impressions. The unique and magnificent aspect of the ring is the image of a blue-face female. She wears a dark black pueblo style dress over one shoulder and off the other one. Her blouse is white, and her face is blue. There is at Hopi, a female character known as the Hano Mana who has a blue face. Perhaps there is a similar personage at Zuni. The ring is stamped with the conjoined initials JM but we have not determined to whom those belong.
