SOLD! Cowrie shell, jet & silver Navajo turtle brooch

SOLD! A great vintage brooch, made of a cowrie shell set as the turtle’s carapace with turquoise and jet head, legs and tail.  Probably made by a Navajo silversmith but could have made by a Zuni artist.   Head to tail, 1 3/4″ long x 1 1/8″ wide at his front legs.  Good silver work, the roller clasp works well.
