ZUNI INLAY KACHINA / KNIFEWING/ RAINBOWMAN pendant - artist?

Postby tidore » Wed Aug 18, 2010 12:59 pm

I inherited this awesome ZUNI INLAY KACHINA / KNIFEWING / RAINBOWMAN Pendant from my aunt. It has the signature of the arist on the back but I can`t make it out. I am pretty sure it is Zuni inlay and quite old? . The brooch/pendant size 5,0 x 2,5 cm (1,97 x 0,98 ").
Could anyone identify the signature and tell me something about the artist and the age of the pendant?

I would guess Julalita Lamy, she specializes in mosaic inlay kachinas. Could date to around the 1970's.
