A museum-displayed piece of Native American jewelry photographed against a neutral gray background. The main element is a circular medallion with a radial wheel design, featuring alternating segments of turquoise, lapis lazuli, and dark material (likely jet or onyx) set in silver channels. A turquoise cabochon sits at the center. Three elongated silver pendants hang from the bottom via small rings, each decorated with geometric incisions and terminating in teardrop-shaped turquoise and lapis inlays. The craftsmanship demonstrates traditional Southwestern Native American silverwork techniques, likely Zuni or Navajo in origin.
