Zuni Butterfly Bracelet, c.1950

An excellent example of Zuni mosaic, this silver butterfly cuff is a wearable piece of vintage indigenous artwork from the 1950s. Clearly designed by a master silversmith, the fine stonework includes pieces of turquoise, coral, jet and shell with exceptional attention to detail. The piece is finished with twisted wire accents. The butterfly measures 1 3/4" by 1 3/4" and the band fits a 6 1/4" wrist with a 1 1/4" opening. A highly recommended example of Zuni jewelry at its best.
