Gold, Silver

This gorgeous handmade bracelet is an authentic traditional Zuni Native American design and is crafted from gold plated sterling silver with a simple barrel clasp. Please note that the piece is unmarked/not stamped. The Zuni people have lived in the American Southwest for thousands of years, and their handmade jewelry, crafts, and art pieces have gained recognition all over the world for their unique beauty, quality, and craftsmanship. The Zuni are desert people with a strong connection to their homeland. Traditional animal motifs frequently appear in their jewelry designs as they are cultural artifacts of the Zuni dating back to prehistoric times. These ancient symbols are significant and deeply meaningful to the tribe, and over time they have become iconic pieces that truly define the artistic style of the American Southwest. This piece features three birds situated in the traditional pattern. It's a rare and lucky find, a genuine piece of history in material form. The fact that this piece is a bracelet may increase its rarity as most similar pieces that I have been able to find have been necklaces. This item is pre-owned and shows a normal amount of wear for its age.
