<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 9588226, member: 255&quot;]More “NON info” Take it with a grain…</p><p>1.IF i were selling it I’d have no issue selling it as Vintage Southwestern Chip Inlay Pendant. I believe it is clam shell but I’d need it in hand. I believe it’s turquoise, Serpentine and Pipestone.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I believe it’s NA. I think it’s SD but not 100% as that banding is weird to me too and atypical of the work I’m familiar with.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I showed pics to two sales associates in an NA store in an NA museum that sells both contemporary and vintage. They both thought it was SD. I meant to show it to Perry Null as well but honestly forgot when I was in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. I showed pics to a personal friend who is a retired director of an NA museum. They did NOT think it was SD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please update if you get more info. I’ve looked at so much chip inlay work over the decades and to me your piece has some multi NA influences.That banding to me is more Zuni than SD as is the shape but the chip work is more SD. I dunno. I only think it’s an issue if YOU want to know and are interested in doing more research. Again, if selling, SOUTHWESTERN is totally safe but if you get more info please post.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW on another thread I said I’d post my result with a Perry Null repair. It’s complicated as it’s not a repair per se, it’s a fabrication for a missing element on a belt. It was done off pictures and measurements but it came out too big and doesn’t work. This time I left the actual piece with them so I’ll post after I get it back but what they made was terrific and came very close with the stamping-it would have worked had it not been too big. With the piece in hand I expect it to come out great.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
