Zuni
Southwest
1990s
Sterling silver with turquoise, jet, shell, and assorted stones
Slide length 3 inches (7.6 cm), cord length 46 inches (116.8 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Las Cruces, New Mexico
The slide is cut as a kite, wide across the shoulders and drawn down to a point, and the whole face is inlaid flush so that no silver shows except the outer bezel and the fine lines dividing the stones. The upper field is a broad panel of blue turquoise, and below it the composition breaks into angled blocks of olive green stone, black jet, and white shell, with stepped triangles and a single thin line of coral setting the diagonal running through the design. It hangs on a braided black leather cord of 46 inches.
