Washo Bowl
A bit mysterious but with the oval start, it is most likely a Washo. The zig-zag pattern spoke Mono Lake to me, but again, the oval start is hard to argue with. This is a nicely made piece with good size. 7" D X 4"H. There are a few broken stitches here and there. Better photos can be sent.

Coral Cluster Ring
Unlikely to find two cluster rings such as these, but it did happen. This one is coral and has the same wonderful craftsman feel and chunky look as the turquoise piece. Very smooth and comfortable on. Fits about a size 7. Surely Navajo and dates around 1940.
