Identifying my Zuni/Navajo inlay ring.
  • jojar7jojar7 June 2011
    Here I have a beautiful Zuni-Navajo stone to stone inlay ring. Not sure which tribe or by whom. It's very heavy and quite an eye catcher. I thought at first it might be an older Wilbert Manning, since it has a kachina face on the front and the inlay on the sides. But I don't think it's close to his expertise in workmanship. It's definitely cast sterling and nicely inlayed! with no inside markings at all. I saw another one with the exact same style, but different stones with the initials of ( HS). Can I please get some help? THANKS!!!imageimageimage

    The ring is a cast shank that places like Indian Jewelry Supply sell here in town. I had an artist who thought this inlay was by an Avin Tom, Navajo.
