I love these, they’re very striking and the detail on them is awesome. I’m assuming these are Hopi? Any ideas on the imagery here? They look a bit like turkeys to me but I hadn’t found any similar symbols online other than a mention of four feathers usually indicating a turkey.
There’s no maker’s mark, just a sterling stamp. Also, thoughts on turquoise type?
Those are beautiful! Definitely see a turkey, but also the head looks a little like a pelican.
One way I have been able to tell Hopi from Navajo is to look closely at the black areas. Hopi usually has a lot of little etching marks in the black. If that makes sense.
