[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9590365, member: 5398"]I appreciate your comment, komokwa. I’m curious to know if you think my water jar pendant is Santo Domingo (I realize I would have to call it Southwestern if selling it). The reason I posted it is because I couldn’t find anything in that shape and with banding after using Google Lens and looking at hundreds of examples of SD chip/mosaic inlay jewelry. Reader thinks it is SD, but said it's atypical of the work reader is familiar with because of the banding. Reader showed my photos to three people who had differing opinions: a retired director of an NA museum did not think it’s SD, and two sales associates in an NA store in an NA museum did think it’s SD. So, the photo above from medicinemangallery.com is the only example of old SD shell jewelry I’ve seen that has metal banding (silver vs brass on my pendant). I did, however, see examples of contemporary SD jewelry that has silver banding on medicinemangallery.com, but nothing in a vessel shape. My knowledge of NA jewelry is limited to what I’ve read and seen on Antiquers.com and other websites, and from examining pieces I’ve bought in the past at thrift stores and estate and garage sales, some of which I didn’t realize at the time were NA. I’ll be posting a few more pieces in a separate thread that I have questions on.[/QUOTE]
