Vintage Zuni Chip Inlay Thunderbird Buckle

I broke my own rule and polished the front as the patina was so heavy, you couldn’t see what the heck was going on. The inlay pattern in the wings, with their stripes of turquoise, coral and onyx are very well thought out and executed, and the alternating dots around the perimeter are an unusual design element. The stones are all nice and tight with much attention to detail. All the original stones are present. It weighs 59 grams, measures 3″ by 2″ and the bar that attaches to the belt is hand made out of rectangle sterling bars. Hallmarked R. Critchell, Telluride, and stamped sterling. Excellent vintage condition.
