Welcome!

This is a signed pin and pendant by Zuni artist, Lili Shebola. I don\'t know her relationship to Dixon Shebola, the historically famous silversmith but she is most likely related to him. The design of this butterfly is quite unique and the work is top notch. The mosaic inlay is elaborate, complex and includes dot inlay as well as nugget set stones. It is a monarch butterfly and so realistic and very beautiful. It\'s surprising that such realistic detail is not something I\'ve seen before in Zuni inlay of butterflies. She use hand cut and buffed jet, mother of pearl, coral and turquoise and the inlay is astonishingly good. This is a signed piece with her name and tribe.

The pin measures 1 5/8\" (4.18 cm) by 1 ¼”(3.18 cm) and weighs 8 grams. It has a working rollover locking clasp and a nice sized bale so it can be work as a pendant or a pin.

This butterfly is a fine collector\'s piece, and so very pretty! Condition is excellent vintage. It always surprises me when sun a fabulous piece as this doesn\'t sell immediately and just gets overlooked. This is a magnificent work of art by an expert inlay artist. It\'s museum worthy. and it\'s delightful. You\'ll be thrilled if you snag it.
