Old Pawn pin ca. 1950 Provenance

Navajo cluster work is a direct reflection of that from Zuni. Nothing of valuable skillsets get by the Navajo. They can work in virtually any SW jewelry arena. Unknown artist, but the silverwork is high level. With lapidary to match. As an indicator of ethnographic usage, note how the turquoise mellows with age, each at it’ own pace, graceful Mother Nature at work!

Provenance includes Old Pawn vaults of our family’s Keams Canyon Trading Post, ca.1950. From our own private collection. In the 1.5-2” diameter range  Historic and collectible.

Good Condition, Vintage.
