So, I received the second book: “Who’s who in Zuni Jewelry” and opened it to the first page with pictures on it. What do I see but a quail pendant that I had been looking at on Etsy from a retired couple that I had purchased the Joe Zunie covered wagon bolo and buckle from.
They only have about 10 items and I had noticed that this quail was very well made and had already thought about purchasing it.
So I went back to check and sure enough it’s the exact same design. It is by Porfilio and Ann Sheyka and I was able to get it for $125.
I found the Hawk Bolo (apparently it’s a Bobwhite Quail) on the right side of the picture, on ebay for over a thousand dollars.
Feeling pretty good about the book purchase about now.
