AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Native American bird fetish necklace, 16” with heishi shell beads and carved abalone birds.

A very non commercial pair of authentic hand made Zuni animal fetish earrings, with heishi shell beads and carved turqoise bear animals. Also, earrings with coral and turquoise. liquid silver necklace (18”) with circular deer antler incised with sleeping beauty turqoise stone. four items, two necklaces and two pairs of earrings.
Native American jewelry sets like this are highly valued by collectors of indigenous art and ethnographic artifacts. The bird fetishes carved from shell represent spiritual connections to nature, while the turquoise elements—particularly the prized Sleeping Beauty turquoise—are considered sacred stones with protective qualities. These pieces should appeal to collectors of Southwestern Native American art, jewelry enthusiasts, and museums for their cultural significance, spiritual symbolism, and distinctive craftsmanship.
