Picked this up at the thrift store today.

Looks like turquoise and sterling. One concho has mark. Any help ID’ing the artist is appreciated!

Maybe looks like a rattlesnake?

Thanks!

The style is Navajo. Don’t think that turquoise stone is real. I just can’t make out the mark. A Navajo silversmith is not going to use a snake for a hallmark, maybe it is something else. If you could attempt another image that might help.

That’s not a snake. It’s part of a wing, head and tail. I can’t remember where I saw the mark before, though.
