Hello…I have 2 butterfly inlay pieces, one smooth and one cobblestone (below) that are just marked with a feather symbol, no initials. With the inlay in the antennae it reminds me of Katherine Schnelby Segay butterfly necklaces, because I haven’t seen that elsewhere. I am wondering if this symbol could have been used earlier by an artist who now uses their initials. Someone online mentioned Chris Tom or his father, which I think use CT or TT??. (I think this was because of the cobblestone.) A piece with this hallmark was linked to Al Zuni of Gallup (sold online), and I have contacted them without a response yet. I think they are a co-op of Zuni artists. This piece was sold to me as Navajo, I am not sure but I think this cobblestone inlay is often Navajo. So, I am almost more confused from when I started, if that is possible.
Any help would be appreciated…thank you.
