Fun Facts: Zuni jewelers, from the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, are known for this mosaic inlay technique, often incorporating locally sourced materials like turquoise from Arizona mines, Mediterranean or synthetic coral, jet (a fossilized wood), and abalone or mother of pearl shells. These pieces frequently symbolize natural elements or cultural motifs, though this one's abstract stripes may represent water waves, rainbows, or simply artistic expression.
