Large Early Tufa Cast Native American Turquoise/sterling pin

  

Large Early Tufa Cast Native American Turquoise/sterling pin. Great piece from the first half of the 20th century 2.75" wide x 1 1/8" tall, nice heavy stamping and high quality natural turquoise 17 grams. Unmarked of course, tests silver guaranteed 90% (coin silver) or better I actually believe this was a hair piece that was turned into a pin in the third quarter of the 20th century.
