Zuni Rainbow Man Pin, Turquoise, Shells, Jet, Handmade, Circa 1940s

This Zuni Rainbow Man pin is a circa 1940s piece. The pin does not have an artist hallmark, which is common for this time period. We attribute the work to Lambert Homer. Each cut is perfectly placed using classic white shell, black jet, red red, and turquoise colors. The Rainbow Man is always an uplifting figure that is a favorite amongst collectors. You will find the inlay surrounded by silver drops and wire work. The turquoise appears to be Blue Gem Turquoise, a rich colored stone with that signature Blue Gem color. This is a wonderful pin that will show your appreciation of Zuni inlay art and the history of Native American jewelry making every time you put it on.
