Vintage Zuni Turquoise Inlaid Cuff Bracelet by Martin Panteah 1789

Vintage Zuni Turquoise Inlaid Cuff

This Vintage Zuni Turquoise Inlaid Cuff was handmade by Martin Panteah, possibly with the help of his wife Esther. It features a Long Horned Kachina, who's fitted with Jet, Mother of Pearl, Turquoise and Spiny Oyster shell. Bevel cut MOP rectangles finish either side of the Sterling bracelet. Curled twist wire accents the upper and lower, recessed borders. It's 1-3/4" wide and will best fit a 5-1/2" (loose) to 6-1/2" (snug) wrist. Hallmarked by Martin, it's in excellent, original condition. This Vintage Zuni Turquoise Inlaid Cuff is traditional pueblo jewelry, that you'll love to wear!

NOTE: Solidly built, this cannot be squeezed in or out.

Your correct size: you must measure the circumference of your wrist. You can use a cloth tape measure, a ¼” strip of paper or a cord to wrap around your wrist and mark it. Lay it out flat and measure the length against a ruler, that’s your exact circumference and the size you wear.

Both Martin (1946- ) and his wife Esther (1946- ) are known for  their mosaic inlays and started making jewelry together in 1973. They are referenced in Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks", Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest", Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry III", Bassman's "Zuni Jewelry" and Bell's "Zuni: The Art of the People Vol II".
