This is nice. Great looking blue and black stones. I think of the turquoise as pieces of Chinese. Also, I am assuming the claws are bear? Do you have any information about the piece you can provide? When you purchased, what it was sold as? I would call this Navajo and expect to see something around $450 - $500 on the piece. Thanks for sharing.

We don’t have any info on the piece as it was something we took in on pawn at our shop in the 80s-90s. Thank you for responding!

There is also an almost an identical piece (in workmanship and design), just different turquoise. So I’m thinking possibly the same person made both pieces.
