Zuni Inlay Bracelet, c. 1940

This finely crafted Zuni inlay bracelet, c. 1940-1950, features a striking figural design of the Zuni Kinfe Wing God rendered in turquoise, coral, jet, and mother-of-pearl set in hand-worked sterling silver. The central motif reflects the classic Zuni aesthetic of the period, combining symbolic form with precise lapidary work and balanced geometric inlay. Split-shank construction, delicate silver accents, and careful stone fitting demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship for which Zuni artists are renowned. With its strong visual presence, this bracelet is an excellent example of Zuni inlay jewelry from a formative era of Southwestern Native American silverwork.

This piece measures 5” with a 1 ¼” gap, perfect for a 6 ¼” wrist. The max width is 2”.
