Help with onyx and shell ring- “TT” and lightning symbol

Hi, I’ve worked myself into a headache over this ring. I see the same pair of marks on a fantastic turquoise and coral necklace on the forum from July 2020. There was speculation on that post that the TT might be Tobe Turpen.

I am assuming you are calling the second picture the TT, I am not seeing a hallmark on the inside of the ring? Usually that would be considered design and not the artist’s mark. Good looking ring.

Yes, could that be something other than a TT?

The zigzag mark is listed on art-amerindien.com, as a mountain mark identified with a Zuni artist with the first name Edward:
Indian Native American pictograph hallmarks

I would have never thought of that as a hallmark but matches perfectly to the one you listed. That is going to be a tough mystery to crack, good luck.
