BR869 Harpo Zuni Thunderbird bracelet

One of a kind piece 

Two-shanks Zuni bracelet in sterling silver with a central Thunderbird, inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), mother-of-pearl, coral and black-jet.
 

Thunderbird is a South West classic symbol for the Natives. It is represented as an impressive condor able to create thunder by beating its wings and lightning by blinking its eyes.
 

The handmade Zuni inlay is a gathering of different stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, back jet), carved and put together in order to create a thin geometrical pattern. The piece is then polished in order to give a smooth and elegant finish to the jewel.

Wrist size : 17cm (6 inches 3/4)

Thunderbird's size (L x W) : 4,5cm x 3,4cm (1 inch 3/4 x 1 inch 1/2)

This bracelet is in sterling silver. 
 

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
