This Zuni inlaid silver bracelet depicting Zuni women making bread in a clay oven is beautiful and culturally significant piece of Native American jewelry. The Zuni people are a Native American tribe located in the southwestern United States, primarily in New Mexico.

Zuni jewelry is well-known for its intricate designs and skilled craftsmanship. In this particular bracelet, the scene of Zuni women making bread in a clay oven was created using the traditional inlay technique. Inlay is a process where pieces of stone or shell are precisely cut and set into a silver base to form a mosaic-like pattern.

The image on the bracelet showcases the women dressed in traditional Zuni clothing, engaging in the process of breadmaking. It includes elements like the clay oven (also known as a hornos), which is a traditional way of baking bread among the Zuni people. The design is detailed and vibrant, reflecting the artistic heritage of the Zuni tribe.

In addition to its aesthetic value, the bracelet holds cultural and symbolic significance for the Zuni people. It could represent the importance of traditional food preparation, the role of women in Zuni culture, and the tribe's connection to their ancestral traditions.

If you own or come across such a bracelet, it would be essential to appreciate and respect its cultural value. Zuni jewelry, like many Native American crafts, is not just an accessory but also a representation of the tribe's rich history and identity. Signed by Zuni artist, Randy Lucio. Sterling silver. Cir. 1970's+. The inside end to end measures around 5-1/4" with an additional 1-1/4" gap. Sturdy 24 grams.
