WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT IT:This beautiful cross shaped pendant is very early fine Zuni channel Inlay. It is rare, with a gorgeous balanced aesthetic. It was made mid-century or earlier. It has a 1940s look, a geometric Art Deco period appearance and a solid feel. For these reasons it has been part of my personal collection for a long time. I just love it. It is a terrific and versatile pendant made by hand by someone who is clearly a master Zuni artist, though it is unsigned so I don\'t know who made it. A prior owner had personal numbers engraved on it which was commonplace at one time so that it could be identified if lost or stolen.
CONDITION:Excellent vintage, collectible and wearable, with no problems, a great masterpiece with no visible age related wear.
MEASUREMENTS:• hanging length 2\"• width 1-1/2\"• weight of 6.21grams• unsigned by artist, but it\'s a Zuni piece and but constructed by an unidentified great artist• not signed for metal content but guaranteed sterling silver .925
SUMMARY:Exquisite aesthetically balanced pendant made in my estimate in the 1940s, as the geometric and simple pattern has strong Art Deco influence. It\'s a great piece you can happily wear daily as your signature piece. A great collectible.
