Old Zuni Inlay Jewelry Sterling Silver Dancing Eagle Bolo and Buckle Set

Zuni Pueblo artisan John Lucio is known for his originality and technical skill at channel inlay jewelry. Each of his examples is a remarkable feat of ingenuity and creativity with distinct channel inlay technique and precise silver work. John started making jewelry in the 1950's, working as an apprentice to several of the older masters at the Zuni Pueblo. He soon became a leader of the art form with his work becoming very collectable. He specialized in intricate channel inlay Eagle Dancer jewelry, but his career was as a Zuni firefighter with the U.
