These were pretty tarnished from age but I gently cleaned them up a bit to restore just a bit of original luster. I call this a super rare find in the #ZuniInlay World from the old #vintage #ZuniArtisans. Usually this type of inlay has the stones flush with the silver divider within the grid or matrix but each stone was carefully cut, carved and rounded or beveled to perfectly fit with absolute precision to complete this set of watch tips. This is a set that I will only wear on special occasions when I go to see friends at the #HeardShow or #IndianMarket in #SantaFe! Hats off to the unknown artist who performed this work. It’s unsigned but A Plus Work!!! #Inlay #ZuniPueblo #ZuniArt #NewMexico #SouthwestArt! (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRXoC76LmyL/?utm_medium=tumblr
