Is this a Zuni petite snake eye necklace with handmade (?) chain

I have a Zuni snake eye necklace that I would appreciate some opinions about. It is only 14 1/2” end to end which makes me think it may have been made for a child. Each segment is 1 1/2” by just over 1/2” deep and the weight is 12 g. There are two scratched in “v”s on the back. Didn’t find anything on my hallmark search.
Does anyone have an opinion about this being a child’s piece? I’m also

interested in finding out an approximate age and value.

Very nice example of Snake Eye. My guess is that this was not really for children, more for petite women. I didn’t find anything on VV. I defer to the pros of course(I hope they weigh in :slight_smile: )
