I like the lady weaving also, but I couldn’t find much on the artist. I don’t know if they made the necklace (or just the pendant) or if that could have been added. I did see one online site say that the artist was Laguna/Zuni, but I don’t know if that was right.
If it was me, I wouldn’t worry about the hallmark. I’ve never really heard of anyone do anything to protect one.
I have a ring by Allenroy Paquin (met him at the Eiteljorg decades ago) who is Apache/Zuni. Maybe they are related.
Thank you Steve. you are the best sleuth on here. I think it is well made and I like the pendant and the necklace so I guess it may stay a mystery but if I had to pick one…it looks like Offina Pino. The rippled background is seen on some of her work. Offina Pino -Sterling Silver- Vintage Navajo Storyteller Band - Ring Size 8.25 | eBay Thank you for the nice comments @BlytheEcho and @Ziacat. Which earrings are your favorite Hopi from Taylor…can I see a pic…only if you have the time.
Oooh, @AZBoots! Love your ring…screams classic Joseph Coriz!. I also love his jewelry. I saw one of his fabulous turtle/turquoise pendants on a spectacular chain at SF market a couple years ago…here’s hoping you add one to your collection before too long
