Lincoln Zunie was the eldest brother of an incredibly talented family of inlay artists. Joe Zunie and William Zunie are known for their instantly recognizable jewelry and excelled in their art with their equally talented wives. Lincoln and Helen Zunie created beautiful inlay work incorporating animals and mostly horses and cattle. Their work is also easily recognizable for most artists. They also created beautiful inlay work on their covered wagons and most had moving wheels. Today we concentrate on their horses and cows. Here is an incredible example of their work. This belt buckle set is adorned by a gorgeous Hereford cow/bull created with black shell, white shell, coral, turquoise, mother of pearl and sterling silver. This stunning belt buckle measures 3.25 inches long and 2.2 inches wide. Signed H-L Zunie by the husband and wife silversmith team.
