The Peanuts Zunitoon Necklace by Paula Leekity

Zunitoons or Zuni-toons as some spell it, are inlay pieces depicting pop culture characters from Looney Tunes, Disney, The Peanuts and more. They were really popular in the 70's and 80's, and are still made by artisans to this day.

Brush pot made of lapis lazuli, Qianlong Dynasty

With its brilliant indigo colour pertaining to the heavenly celeste, the stone was often reserved for objects and accessories destined for use in ritual ceremonies. It was also a source of the ultramarine pigment in religious mural paintings. Scholar’s objects fashioned from this material are scarce, though a small number of carved mountains and table screens do exist. Symbolic of purity and rarity, lapis lazuli appears to have been named qingjinshi (blue gold stone) during the Qing dynasty. The aura of mystery that surrounded this stone may have been due to the virtually inaccessible location of its principle mines in the remote Badakshan region of northeast Afghanistan behind the Hindu Kush.
