Description
 
This beautiful, sterling silver box with a stunning Zuni inlaid Knifewing figure was crafted in the 1940's. This lovely box features wonderful detailed silver work on all sides, with precise stone inlay work. Blue Gem turquoise, jet, abalone shell and white shell are the materials used in the figure. Many of these early boxes were designed by a Navajo silversmith and then the addition of Zuni designed figures were included with the final finishing of the box. Heavy silver with an easy to open hinged top adds the final touches to this lovely box. A medium patina graces the front and sides of the box, with a much deeper patina on the bottom. A wonderful addition to any collection.

The box measures 5 3/4" long by 4 1/2" wide by 1 5/8" deep. The center Knifewing figure measures 3 7/8" long by 2 3/8" wide. This box is not hallmark.
