Multi-Stone Inlay Hummingbird Earrings

Pair of dangle earrings, each a hummingbird in flight with outstretched wing, fanned tail and slender beak. The body carries an inlay mosaic of small rectangular and square pieces fitted flush into the silver: orange-amber, turquoise blue, a thin red-burgundy band, cream-white accents, and black for the eye. Silver outlines the bird and scores feather lines on wing and tail; each hangs from a small ball post. Bright polished silver, no antiquing. Made by B. Joe, Navajo. One piece, held at the gallery in Santa Fe.
