AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This double-strand Zuni fetish necklace dates to the mid 20th century, featuring hand-carved animal fetishes made from turquoise, serpentine, jasper, and alabaster stones. The necklace is distinguished by its exemplary carved turquoise thunderbird pendant and matching earrings, in natural Arizona mined Turqoise. At 30 inches in length, this substantial piece is particularly valued by collectors of Native American jewelry, notably its combination of multiple stone types and the prominent turquoise thunderbird elements makes it an exceptional example of traditional Zuni artistry.
