Zuni Inlay Mudhead Necklace and Earrings Sterling Silver Augustine & Rosalie Pinto
This beautiful Necklace and Earrings from Zuni artists Augustine and Rosalie Pinto is adorned at center with a Mudhead inlay of turquoise, coral, onyx, and mother of pearl, set in sterling silver flanked by an additional four Mudheads each in their own sterling silver bezel frame.
Augustine and Rosalie Pinto were the last of the great Zuni Silversmiths who worked by hand without the use of electricity. They specialized in Mosaic Inlay...a style created in Zuni by Teddy Weahkee. Mosaic inlay is much like a puzzle, inlaying one piece against another without using silver channels for support.
The central pendant is 6x4 cm. Four additional mudheads, measuring 3x2.5 cm. In addition, a pair of matching earrings. Measuring 3x2.5 cm
The necklace is 58 cm. long. Total weight 84.5 grams. Signed ARP. Excellent condition
