Beverly Etsate, Pin, Red Spiny Oyster Shell, Multi-Stone, Zuni Handmade, 1 3/4"

This vibrant Zuni handmade pin by Beverly Etsate beautifully showcases traditional artistry and symbolism. Meticulously carved from Red Spiny Oyster Shell, the central motif is designed to resemble a corn, a sacred symbol of life and sustenance in Zuni culture. Accented with delicate multi-stone inlays of turquoise, lapis, and jet, each dot adds rich color and represents seeds or blessings. Framed in finely twisted sterling silver wire with gracefully curved sides, the pin is further adorned with a trio of silver beads at its base, offering a perfect balance of elegance and cultural significance.
