I picked up this pin for what I thought was a good deal ($40). The imagery is really unusual and the overall quality of the overlay is good as well. A friend pointed out to me that the maker was Riley Polequaptewa, a Hopi Artist from Shungopavi on Second Mesa.
As I did my research it looks like his work doesn’t command very high prices. What would you value this piece at? It’s roughly 2 inches in diameter. Additionally, how would you describe the image depicted on the pin? It’s a Hopi Sunface, but it also looks like a Koshare clown?
