The most prolific 20th century and contemporary Zuni jewelers
established themselves by adhering to the same basic models and
traditions set by their parents, grandparents, and
great-grandparents. Using silver and mosaic inlay pins, bracelets,
bolo ties and other ornaments, these artisans have created many
successful motifs taken from the animal kingdom, including horses
and cows, insects such as butterflies and dragonflies, wild animals
like deer and antelope, birds of all shapes and sizes, and humans.
All of these are featured in the author's fourth book in his series
on Zuni jewelry. Read sixty-five biographies of Zuni jewelry-making
individuals and families, with interesting facts about their
extraordinary backgrounds and explanations of their design styles
and methods. Nearly 300 color photos display subtle variations that
indicate a particular master's work. Detailed notes on each image
include design specifics and prices.
