This is a very good Zuni Knifewing bracelet, done with stone on stone inlay. The stones are turquoise, jet, mother of pearl, and spiny oyster. The frame is a four bar split shank and it weighs 43.7 grams, so it is heavy for it's size. The inside measurement from end to end is about 5 5/8" with a gap of 3/4", so 6 3/8" overall (could be adjusted) and the height is 1 3/4". There are small stamped rosettes and raindrops in silver.
This is a well crafted, Zuni ma...de piece that is very impressive. The lapidary work is very good, tight and flat. It was probably made by Betty Natachu.
I'm listing other Zuni and Navajo bracelets, so take a look.
Thanks.
