Featured Good Morning! I Am hoping someone would be Able recognize These Earrings Markings. TY

Good Morning! Happy Holidays! Happy Hanukkah! I have a pair of sterling silver kachina doll earrings, but I can’t figure out the markings and if they are modern or old. This was the best pictures I could get so I hope someone will be able to give me some information on them. Thank you in advance for all your responses and stay safe and healthy

 

Modern. Can't tell what that mark is supposed to be - kind of looks like a sabertooth?

I looked here, but didn't see anything...

Good Afternoon All! I hope you are all well! I am still trying to find this hallmark of the images above and I can across this one that belongs to Dennis & Nancy Edaaki Zuni. This is the closest I have seen. What do you think? Thank you for your responses and have a great day.

 

Where did you find this mark? With the 925 mark on your piece it probably wasn't made by Dennis.

 

Thank you for responding I found this mark at the following link

Good morning ezee.
Good thing you bumped this thread, I didn't see it before.
The mark is not the Dennis & Nancy Edaaki parrot beak mark. The style is not like Dennis & Nancy Edaaki work either. The Edaaki's were lapidarists, making amazing Zuni stone inlay work. Here are some examples of their work:

Your earrings are charming, but I have no idea who or which company manufactured them.

The dancers are not Jingle Dancers btw. The Jingle Dance is a woman's healing dance, named after the cone shaped tobacco lid jingles on the dress. Tobacco is used as a (spiritually) healing plant, which is why jingles made of tobacco lids add symbolic value to the dress and dance.

 

Thank you Any Jewelry! Do you have any idea what the mark is and if not jingle dancer, what are these? These reminds me of the earrings I use to see in the 70's when I was a little girls and it also reminds me of the Indians and Cowboy tv shows back then too.

 

I have no idea, sorry. I checked my book on Native American marks, but those are all from the Southwest, and this is not an SW style.

The way your dancers are dressed looks like Plains dancers to me, and they generally have bells around their ankles or below the knee. Which is what the enamel globules are supposed to be.
But I don't know which particular dance. It is not one of the Plains dances I know, although I have seen men dressed like that for the Grand Entry of a Powwow.
I would just call them Native American dancers.

 

Thank you so much Any Jewelry I appreciate all your replies! Have a great day and stay safe.

 

You too, ezee.

 

I can’t add a thing other than I like them and also do not think they’re NA. They’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen and I’ve never seen 925 on NA silver.
