This channel-inlay pin consists of turquoise, jet, mother-of-pearl, and Spondylus shell, mounted in silver bezels on silver backing. Silver wire earrings and a "halo" around the wing and tail feathers complete the ensemble. The pin probably dates to the second half of the 20th century. The pin clasp has a safety hook. It is not signed with the name of the maker.
