Zuni Inlay Sun Brooch

Sterling Silver with Turquoise, Pink, White & Yellow Mother of Pearl, Jet & Coral.

Handmade Zuni Native American , New Mexico, USA

Most closely associated with Zuni silversmiths, inlay work draws on stone-cutting traditions that predate European contact, with stones cut and fitted precisely into silver to create mosaic patterns.

Across Navajo, Zuni and Hopi culture the sun represents life, warmth and continuity, with the Zuni Sun Father depicted in the Sunface with a forehead divided to represent sunrise and sunset and feather rays radiating outward.

Sourced directly from Native American artists on the reservations of New Mexico and Arizona, handmade using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Dimensions: 3.cm across, has loop for hanging as pendant.
