A Pair of Native American Zuni Style Multi-Stone Inlay Sunface Clip-On Earrings - This matched pair of clip-on earrings features a traditional Southwestern Sunface motif, attributed to the style of Zuni Pueblo channel inlay jewelry. Each earring is crafted from silver-tone metal and features a central circular medallion with channel-set multi-stone inlay. The inlay appears to consist of turquoise, red coral or spiny oyster shell, white mother-of-pearl or shell, and black jet or onyx, arranged to depict a stylized Sunface. The central medallion is encircled by a twisted rope border and set within a larger, four-directional stepped sunburst frame. The earrings are equipped with hinged clip-on findings. A small, rectangular stamped mark is present on the reverse of each earring near the hinge; however, the characters are obscured by heavy tarnish and are not clearly legible. Each earring measures approximately 0.75 inches in height and 0.75 inches in width.
