작품 상세

Condition: Good condition with typical age-related patina. No apparent damage beyond minor wear commensurate with age. Item Description Weight: 9.66g This handcrafted Zuni Native American sterling silver pendant presents a distinctive teardrop form, featuring the iconic snake motif synonymous with artist Effie Calavaza. Two vibrant, irregular cabochons of sky-blue turquoise are bezel-set within the silver, with a meticulously rendered snake coiling around them. The snake's head, complete with small turquoise eyes, rests at the base, while its body undulates upwards, creating a dynamic and organic design. The silver exhibits rich, natural patina that enhances the intricate stamped and carved details, providing a beautiful contrast to the bright turquoise. Each element of this piece, from the hand-cut stones to the carefully sculpted silver, showcases the unique artistry and traditional techniques of Zuni jewelry making, a hallmark of Calavaza's celebrated work. Effie Calavaza (1928-2018) was a renowned Zuni jeweler famous for her "snake eye" jewelry, often incorporating turquoise and other stones with sterling silver, creating pieces highly sought after by collectors.
