Comanche, Southern Plains
circa 1900
800 fine silver or higher
Length 1.25" (3.2 cm) drop
Provenance: Private collection, Santa Fe, NM
These antique Comanche silver earrings feature a dragonfly wing design, a naturalistic motif worked into the silver surface with the restrained geometric precision characteristic of Southern Plains silversmithing of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The elongated triangular form and fine surface detail are consistent with coin silver or trade silver work, and the earrings retain the warm patina of period pieces. The Santa Fe provenance situates this pair within the collector market that has long served as a primary source for Southern Plains jewelry.
