Zuni beadwork has evolved from tourist souvenirs to detailed pieces of folk art. First the Zuni artists create a form and then they bead over it, using the peyote stitch and seed or glass beads. With a continuous strand, Zuni beaders meticulously create wonderful patterns throughout their beadwork. Lovely sitting mouse holding a heart. Hand beaded by Lorena Laahty. Unique Native American beadwork that will be a great addition to any collection. (note-black display box is not included, mouse is shaped to sit on a box or ledge)
