This exquisite sterling silver sculpted butterfly pin is not signed with the name of the artisan but it appears to be an early Zuni piece perhaps from the 1940s. The silver chain is handmade and each link in the chain is stamped with a design. It is quite possible that the butterfly was a pin at one time and has been converted to a necklace.
Condition: excellent condition
