Native American Collection
1970s Zuni Sunface Squash Blossom Necklace
Details:
Note-This necklace is from 1970. I have found similar ones online with a few notable differences. This one has four turquoise beads just above the naja. Two extra sunfaces are attached upside down to the bottoms of the naja, and most of the beads are individually stamped. No other versions of this necklace I found online show these extras, so this was likely made earlier than the similar pieces he made. He probably simplified the design for later versions to make them faster, considering the newfound demand. Either way, he made this one special for some reason.
