The term \"needlepoint\" is a petite point technique where tiny, faceted gemstones—often turquoise—are individually cut, shaped, and set into bezels of sterling silver, creating a delicate, mosaic-like pattern resembling needle embroidery. This style evolved from traditional petit point in the mid-20th century and symbolizes the Zuni's deep connection to the land, with turquoise representing \"Father Sky\" and water sources vital to their arid homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance:  From the Len and Toni Wood Private Collection, Laguna Beach, California\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46573854982309,"sku":"5231-591","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5231-591_2.jpg?v=1764800572","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/zuni-pueblo-needlepoint-turquoise-with-sterling-silver-chain-necklace","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
