Description: Sterling silver slide features a Knifewing design in multi-stone turquoise, onyx, spiny oyster and MOP inlay. Cord is braided black leather with sterling silver tips. Tested as sterling silver.

Maker: Appears to be vintage Zuni made, however, there are no hallmarks as was common of Native Jewelry made in this era.

Approx Age: Vintage, circa 1950s - 60s. Has old-school loops on the back for the cord to run through like was common before pre-clasp use. Some artists continued to use this old-school style of securing the bolo cord even after the commercial clasps became available in the mid-1950s and this is likely one of those pieces.
