Vintage Native American Navajo Sterling Silver Hair Sticks Spiny Oyster Shells

Description

Vintage Sterling Silver Hair Sticks (for buns) with Spiny Oyster Shell decorations.
Please see photos.
Approximate Measurements:
Each Stick: 7 1/4" long
Each Shell: 2 1/4" diameter
Total Weight of both: 70 grams
Condition:
Each oyster shell has a hole that appears to be man made. We suspect these were originally old beads and an artist recycled them to make these unique hair sticks.
There are minor scratches, scuffs and dents of the silver from normal wear and usage.
The shells naturally have indentations, color variations and marks that add to their character.
The silver is tarnished from age and can be polished with silver cleaner.
There is no artist mark or signature.
Please see photos.
We purchased a magnificent collection of antique silver, Indian colonial silver, Spanish colonial silver, early American silver, early English silver, European silver and Pre-Columbian silver. There are hundreds of pieces. It will take us months to list it all. Check out our other listings.
