Description	Zuni earring one of matching pair It is a pendant earring made of silver, mother-of-pearl and turquoise that hangs from a silver ear-wire for pierced ears. The pendant represents a large squash blossom identical to the 12 that are on the necklace. There is a large mother-of pearl oval set into a heavy silver frame with a feather pattern in silver above the mother-of-pearl. Below the mother-of-pearl there are three small turquoise pieces. Beneath these extend a three pronged cylinder that is attached to the back of the silver back of the earring. There is a small silver wire loop soldered to the back of the top of the earring which allows it to be hung from the ear wire.
