Fred Harvey era rectangular sterling silver pin or brooch with an unusual multi-color stone to stone inlay Thunderbird motif. Inlay materials include natural turquoise, spiney oyster or red abalone, jet, cowry shell, and mother of pearl. The inlaid stones are slightly raised or "pillow" cut. I have never seen this variation of a Thunderbird before.

Very good quality and condition with a nice dark aged patina. One of the inlaid jet wing stones has a little roughness to the surface. Brooch has a locking pin assemble. Unsigned as is typical of jewelry of this era - ca. 1940's. Reasonable reserve on this collector's item. Great pin!

UNUSUAL DESIGN!
