Navajo

2015
Sterling silver
Total circumference 8 in (20.3 cm), gap 1 1/4 in (3.2 cm), width 1 3/4 in (4.4 cm)
Provenance: Wheelwright Museum, Santa Fe, NM
This wide Navajo cuff is worked entirely in silver overlay, with corn stalk motifs standing out against a darkened, recessed ground. The background is cut with a stepped, terraced pattern and a wavy baseline that suggests earth and water beneath the growing corn, all oxidized to set off the raised silver. With no stones, the piece relies on the contrast of bright and blackened silver, a clean contemporary overlay design dated 2015.
We ship free anywhere in the world, fully insured, packed by hand.
