Item #861P- XLG 2 1/2" dia Vintage 50's-60's Zuni Turquoise Mosaic "Fish Scale" Inlay Pin/Pendant
Extra large vintage 50's-60's Zuni turquoise mosaic inlay pin/pendant. The silversmith has used many pieces of blue turquoise with brown matrix (appears to be early high grade Kingman turquoise) creating a mosaic channel inlay often called "fish scale" due to the resemblance. All flush set into a large circular concho setting. The artist has feathered the exterior rim of the circular concho to a smooth rim. Finishing the extra large pin/pendant by attaching a long pin/safety clasp and hoop wire bale on back.
