Description

L.L. Shetima Zuni Sterling Thunderbird Watch Tips w/ Timex

Vintage Timex wristwatch featuring handcrafted Zuni sterling silver watch tips by L.L. Shetima. The tips showcase a traditional thunderbird motif with finely executed channel inlay using turquoise, red coral, jet, and mother-of-pearl. The stones are precisely cut and fitted flush within the silver, demonstrating the symmetry and craftsmanship associated with classic Zuni lapidary work.

The Timex watch offers a clean, mid-century design with a champagne dial, baton markers, and date display, providing a subtle contrast to the bold Southwestern artistry. Signed examples by Shetima are collected for their authentic craftsmanship and wearable design, making this a distinctive fusion of functional timepiece and Native American jewelry.

Condition:
In good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The watch crystal shows scratches, and the dial has light patina. Sterling silver tips show tarnish and surface wear; polishing has been left to the buyer. Stones are secure in their settings.  Tested, runs and keeps time well. 

Dimensions:
Each tip: 1.14 x 1.19 x 0.15 inches
Weight: 38.75 grams
