Sterling silver with 12kt gold overlay, signed STK
Total circumference 7 1/2 in (19.1 cm), gap 1 1/8 in (2.9 cm), width 3/4 in (1.9 cm)
This cuff carries a storyteller scene worked in 12kt gold overlay across a sterling silver band. Gold figures, a horse and rider, a hogan and tools are set against a stippled, oxidized ground, framed by stamped borders above and below. Storyteller work of this kind narrates daily life in the Southwest, and the two tone contrast of warm gold against darkened silver gives the scene its depth. The bracelet is marked with the STK hallmark.
