The Zui knifewing god is a decorative figure. according to Cushing, who lived with the Zunis from 1879-1884.
This pin has been made using a mosaic technique with the stones being carefully cut and fitted together to form the design. When examining the details of the work and the design, It is apparent that this example and the larger one also posted (J2239) were made by the same Zuni artist. They each have come to us from different collections. -
