An EXTRODINARY rare and VALUABLE heirloom brooch created by infamous Zuni artisan Fred Bowannie. Fred was a master Zuni silversmith beginning his craft in the early 1940's. The elegant scrollwork and natural beauty of five turquoise stones make this brooch breathtaking. Each stone is set in a sawtooth bezel. The design work is not the "typical" style of Zuni work which makes this brooch more unique and extremely collectible. I'm thrilled to offer this distinctive treasure knowing that this piece is at least 65-75 years old such a timeless piece of history. A fashionable statement piece for a jacket, sweater, shirt or dress and even your favorite hat!
