History: Zuni beadwork has evolved from tourist souvenirs to detailed pieces of folk art. First the Zuni artists carve a wooden form and then they bead over it, using the peyote stitch and seed or glass beads. With a continuous strand, Zuni beaders meticulously create beautiful patterns throughout their beadwork. Zuni Pueblo is the largest pueblo in New Mexico, and because of its location, Zuni is the most traditional. Most of the people of Zuni rely on the sale of traditional and contemporary arts and crafts. Zuni Pueblo artists are known for their fine jewelry, distinguished pottery, unique fetish carvings, and so much more.
My shipping price includes my actual postage cost as well as packing/handling cost (bubble wrap, boxes, tape, envelopes, etc.) with transportation to post office and my time. It entails more than the postage stamp amount when it arrives to you. Also note that I recycle materials as much as possible - saving the environment. All that being said I do try hard to be reasonable. Please leave feedback when the item is received, and I will do the same for you.
