Simplicio was a master when doing inlay jewelry. It was not his favorite work, as he preferred setting stones and his leaf work. These lovely earrings are the perfect example of Dan's style of inlay work. This lovely Thunderbird pair is inlaid with turquoise, abalone, jet and mother of pearl. Beautiful silver work adds the final touch to this pair.
The earrings measure 1 1/8" tall by 7/8" wide and are screw ons. Can be converted to posts, upon request. No signatures or maker marks which was common with Dans pieces.
His work is cited in every major publication chronicling 20th century Zuni jewelers.
