Jason or anybody, can you identify this Zuni necklace? It is very unusual to have a different coloured overlay on the wing. I think I have seen it before, but can’t place the artist, if it is even Zuni.
Your opinion would be appreciated.

Thanks for the lead.
I will follow up on Goodluck’s work when I get the chance. I looked on the internet yesterday till my eyes bled and couldn’t come up with anything.
Cheers,
Judith
Turns out it wasn’t Goodluck. Found a very similar necklace with only one strand but the artist was not identified, other than Zuni. Still would like to find out who the artist is, so I’ve ordered a few books on Zuni fetish carvers. Perhaps I’ll find the answer there.
