The saddest thing about this stunning piece is that it's not hallmarked.
I think it was a part of a set where the hallmarks would have been on another piece. It's really too bad, the metal smith who made this should be recognized.
Flawless pieces of mother of pearl, turquoise, onyx and vintage coral all bound with silver, some it twisted, to create this substantial Zuni collectible.
Excellent vintage condition, please see pics.

Thank you for the question. In the last pic you can see it on the ruler. :) it's larger than usual, 2 inches wide and a little under 3 inches tall. When i was looking up current pricing, I didn't see many this large. Most were around the 1.5 inch wide mark with 2 " feathers" on each wing while this one has 3. Hope this helps and please don't hesitate if you have any more questions.

Ok, so I just remeasured very carefully and as it shows in the pic, length wise it's just shy of 2 inches, or 4.5 cm and the width is just a little bit larger than that, but not much. it's almost as high as it is long.

@bbelshaw Hi there and thanks for your interest in these pieces. The listed price for both is 230, I can give you 55% off, that would be 104.00. :)

@bbelshaw I'm not too worried about a piece like this selling at the auction for a good amount, so that's the lowest I can go on it.
