Augustine and Rosalie Pinto championed Zuni raised mosaic inlay during their artistic careers. This wonderful example was created during the pinnacle of their artistic expression making this extraordinary piece one of the best examples of their cumulative art. Ten conchos plus the buckle combine in representing ceremonial dancers from Zuni. The focus on this piece is primarily on the Shalako Dance which heralds the Winter Solstice and is a major marker within the Zuni ceremonial calendar. It is truly a magical piece of wearable art.
