Zuni Sun God Tribal Necklace

An astonishing piece of craftsmanship, this long necklace features stations of fetish animals culminating in a gorgeous sun god figure. Created with turquoise and heishi of the highest quality, the colors of blue and brown pop and make a fantastic statement. The sun god kachina, Tawa, is lively, friendly feeling, and full of personality. He feels very protective. I’m going to miss having him around! Recently taken to New Mexico with me, I learned that this piece is older, but was re-strung in the 80’s or 90’s. It’s got a magnetic clasp. I ran out of time and did not get a formal appraisal, but do have some inquiries in to see if the maker can be traced. Probably Kingman turquoise. True Vintage with appropriate patina. Native American First Nations crafted, unsigned. From a smoke free home, will be sent with the greatest of care. Questions, bundles and offers are always welcome. Thanks for stopping into my Posh closet :)
