Bidspirit auction | Vintage Lot of Ten Southwestern
Vintage Lot of Ten Southwestern Style Zuni Needlepoint Inspired Pendant Necklaces - A lot of ten matching necklaces featuring Southwestern inspired openwork pendants. Each pendant depicts two stylized figures in profile facing one another, resembling ceremonial dancer motifs. The figures are adorned with elaborate, radiating headdresses set with small, turquoise-colored stones in a needlepoint style. The pendants are crafted from polished silver-toned metal and are suspended from fine-link curb or cable style chains. One necklace includes a small, additional silver-toned cluster charm attached near the pendant. While the design is indicative of Zuni needlepoint jewelry, no metal purity hallmarks or maker marks are clearly visible on the pieces. The chains are secured with small spring ring or lobster claw clasps. Pendant Height: Approximately 2.5 inches Chain Length: Approximately 24 to 26 inches. The necklaces appear to be in good overall condition. The silver-toned metal surfaces show a consistent luster. All turquoise-colored stones appear to be intact across the ten pendants. Some light tangling is present in the chains due to storage and handling.
