This Native American Zuni handcrafted Sterling Silver turquoise bracelet features an elaborate knifewing figure set with Sleeping Beauty turquoise needlepoints. The needlepoints are unusual though, raised from the surface shaped like the edges of semi-circles (almost looking like little platters - I don't know how else to explain it - see the close-ups). It is a stunning display of hand cut and shaped Sleeping Beauty Turquoise stones, and they match perfectly in shape, size, and color.

The bracelet measures 2-1/84" wide at the widest point. The inside end-to-end measurement is 5-1/2", plus there is a 1-3/8" opening gap. The bracelet can be carefully adjusted to fit. Weighs 25.9 grams.

Brand new and in perfect condition. Hallmarked H&A BOWEKATY, STERLING & ZUNI on a silver placque, for Hugh & Agnes Bowekaty. Gift box and Certificate of Authenticity included with your purchase.

You see the Knifewing incorporated into a lot of Zuni art & jewelry. It is a deity that is half-man and half-eagle. Agnes and Hugh Bowekaty are a Zuni husband and wife team who have brought this mystical creature to life.
