This is a vintage pair of copper and turquoise colored earrings with a Zuni Knifewing Diety in the center of each earring. The Zuni Knife-wing God is a sky being with a bird-human form. The center stone is bezel set into a copper sawtooth base. I’m not sure what the center is made of, it probably is not real turquoise. They are not signed, but were most likely souvenir earrings from the Bell Trading Post popular with tourists during the 1950s and 1960s. I have seen an identical pair with the Bell logo on the back. They measure approximately ½ inch in diameter.

These earrings are in great vintage condition as you can see by the enlarged photographs. I have not polished them as many people prefer the patina that only comes with age. I will leave any polishing up to you. The screwback closures work just fine. Please look at the photos as they are part of the description and show the details better than I can describe.

This would be perfect for any Southwestern motif wardrobe.
