Vintage Navajo Goat Pin With Turquoise

About the Piece:

Meet Harriett the mountain goat. She's a teeny pin but she's spirited as can be. 

Harriett is a vintage Navajo piece but much more youthful than her years, for she can still scale the steep walls of the San Juan River Canyon with ease. Her whole body from her little hooves to her curved horns is sand cast of silver, but she has one big turquoise eye, bright blue as the sky.

Harriett measures  1 3/16" x 1". She's unsigned and she comes from the small jewelry collection of a one-time New York City model who especially loved Zuni animal fetishes and animal themed Native American jewelry. 

Harriett is hoping to see the world while riding on your clothing or adorning a handbag.
