Darrell Shebola, Pin, Pendant, Multi-Stone, Sterling Silver, Zuni, 2 3/4"

This exquisite Zuni handmade pin or pendant by Darrell Shebola captures the vibrant beauty of a cardinal in mid-perch with remarkable artistry. Carved from a rich red spiny oyster shell, the cardinal’s body features lifelike feather details, contrasted by inlays of black onyx, turquoise, and mother of pearl to define the eye and beak. The branch beneath is crafted from sterling silver, adorned with hand-cut turquoise, lapis, and jet, each stone adding a vivid splash of natural color. Shebola’s meticulous inlay work reflects a long tradition of Zuni craftsmanship, where storytelling and nature intertwine. Designed to be worn as both a pin and pendant, this versatile piece offers elegant functionality.
