Sunface is the sacred Sun Father, symbol of life. We find Him in most Zuni's work.
This Sunface is made in Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona), coral, mother-of-pearl and black-jet inlay.
Setting in sterling silver.
The handmade Zuni inlay is a gathering of different stones (most often turquoise, coral, mother-of-pearl, back jet), carved and put together in order to create a thin geometrical pattern. The piece is then polished in order to give a smooth and elegant finish to the jewel.
