About The Artist

 Eddie Beyuka (1920–2002) was a master silversmith and a very well known Zuni artist known for his high quality, inlaid bolo ties and pins. His work often bears the stamp EAB or EAB Zuni and his works are highly sought after. A master of mosaic and channel inlay, he used turquoise, coral, and shell to create detailed, colorful figures like roadrunners and kachina dancers
