Native American Zuni Hummingbird Necklace Sterling Thomasine Shack RARE OLD

Up for sale I have a truly one of a kind necklace, crafted by Zuni Native Thomasine Shack. This gorgeous necklace is absolutely flawless, it has been in hiding for about 30-40 years. This rare, rare rare piece is a whopping 30″ long, the medallion is 4″including the hand forged tassels and 3 1/8″ across, the two smaller hummers on each side are 1 1/8″ long and 1 1/2 wide, at the widest point. The medallion is about 1/4 deep. The intricate silver work is very remarkable, encasing the beautiful medallion and the hummingbird. The chain is hand forged as well as the hook. Notice how the chain is soddered to the medallion, all hand made, to last a lifetime. Thomasine Shacks jewelry rarely comes up for sale, is HIGHLY sought after by collectors and museums alike. The workmanship is classic Shack, simply flawless. Thomasine passed on her craft to her son Bobby and you can really tell she taught him well, as his and Corraines jewelry also command a high price, as well they should, no corner cutting just beautiful high end Native American jewelry. This necklace is so much more breathtaking in person!! Please feel free to contact me about this piece should u require any more info or pics. Thomasine did not sign any of her pieces, but this is unmistakably Thomasine Shack. Thanks for your intrest in this piece.
