This Zuni bracelet was clearly made by a Zuni silversmith who was very skilled. The three clusters of high grade turquoise are exquisite and the individually formed round silver sunbursts also show detailed handiwork.
The clusters are often referred to as sun designs. The Zuni generally began to make jewelry with multiple clustered stones in the 1930s, a tradition which continues today.
