They specialized in intricate inlay jewelry, a traditional Zuni technique where polished stones are precisely cut and fitted into silver channels or flush-mounted to create mosaic-like designs inspired by nature, animals, and Pueblo symbolism. Their work is highly collectible, often featuring materials like turquoise, red coral, jet (black lignite), mother-of-pearl shell, and pen shell. The couple won numerous awards at major Native American art shows and is considered among the finest Zuni artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46350265385125,"sku":"5224-0853","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5224-0853_2.jpg?v=1764189794","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/zuni-pendant-pin-necklace-by-albert-and-dolly-bantea","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
