Zuni Circa 1935 Turquoise Ring
Artist Unknown
- About The Zuni Circa 1935 Turquoise Ring
This beautiful traditional Zuni ring is unusual in the extraordinary size of the area inlaid with turquoise. This is the widest span of turquoise with the highest dome in relation to the overall size of the piece that we have ever seen thus far!
Graceful and substantial, the clean geometry of this design is tempered by a hand-stamped carinated edging top and bottom creating a finished decoration worthy of either a fine lady's or a gent's hand.
